Exactly. The NASA release
itself used that phrase, Doug and Trakar, so no, it is not premature or misleading or sensationalistic. Life or active geology are a
possibility, and I stated it as such, nothing more. That is the phrase which sums up what the press conference is about, so I don't know how you could have missed it.
I usually do add a bit more than just a link, but was busy with other things as well, so sorry about that. I also meant before that the release itself was self-explanatory, not the thread title, and it is clear it is a bona-fide NASA release, if you just look at it. It was also being distributed among other space and NASA-related RSS feeds, etc. so I was actually surprised no one else had mentioned it yet before me.
There
is a rather sensationalistic sounding article title on Drudge Report right now though...
