"Mr Powell told the world on 5 February last year the administration had "firsthand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails" capable of producing enough anthrax or botulinum toxin
to kill "thousands upon thousands of people". He showed "highly
detailed and extremely accurate" diagrams of how the trucks were
configured. Revealingly, he could only produce artist renditions, not
actual blueprints or photographs."

There's something just like this in "Our Man in Havana" -- with the immortal Alec Guiness. I think in the book/movie, the diagram of a vacuum cleaner is used to illustrate a weapons factory. Life imitates art?
