Anthrax and botulism are not significant biological weapons.
They are promoted for disinformation purposes.
The public is being propagandized on biological weapons, because some persons in the dark cellars of government are trying to get public support for an anti-terrorist campaign including increased police powers.
Journalists and bureaucrats run wild with their imaginations, because they do not have a clue as to the biology of the subject.
The reason why the diseases in question are not significant biological weapons is because they cannot be gotten into humans in significant quantities. The question is environmental conditions and delivery systems.
Diseases are so specialized and demanding in their requirements that they will not do something beyond which they normally do. Therefore, the whole concept of bioweapons is unrealistic—that is, as military style weapons. However, militaries are researching contagious diseases, which is where the real problem is.
A lot of experts describe the pathology of anthrax as if it were an imminent peril. The pathology doesn't tell us whether Iraq or terrorists can weaponize the spores. They can't. Iraq used anthrax in liquid form, which is totally ineffective.
