Some may have read Barton Gellman, "U.S. Suspects Al Qaeda Got Nerve Agent >From Iraqis", Washington Post, 12 December 2002, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42876-2002Dec11.html As the article is long, readers may have missed some caveats: "Like most intelligence, the reported chemical weapon transfer is not backed by definitive evidence." "Even authorized spokesmen, with one exception, addressed the report on the condition of anonymity. They said the principal source on the chemical transfer was uncorroborated, and that indications it involved a nerve agent were open to interpretation."
