CARLSON: Have we done that?
POLLOCK: Well, we sold Saddam the anthrax and we kind of looked the other way.

POLLOCK: Did they weaponize it? Yes, absolutely. They put it into missiles.

POLLOCK: The anthrax string that they have came from the United States. You know, through the 1980s, Tucker, I think you can make an argument it was important for the United States to give...
CARLSON: Well, wait, are you saying that the United States government knew that that anthrax was going to be used for biological weapons?
POLLOCK: I think that we were turning a blind eye to what Saddam was doing.
BEGALA: Which is essentially what Ken Adelman, who served President Reagan in arms control, said Friday night when he came on this show.
CARLSON: Wait a second. To say we -- I want to know who. I mean, what American government official allowed anthrax to go to Saddam Hussein? I mean, that seems to me you ought to be in prison for that?
