Irishman? Anti-green? Is it possible?

The ESA corrected themselves quite quickly, IIRC, but it was too late. The JPG was already out of the bottle.

The woo woos will use anything for ammo it seems, so best not to put out anything prematurely that needs to be corrected later - which of course just proves there is a cover up! Maybe NASA et al. need to embed a big watermark in each picture like they do with color chips from the paint store:

"Colors may vary. Use image for comparison only."

For them, a single data point (one press release photo that happens to appear to lend credence to their hopes "see green=life, told ya!") somehow trumps massive interlocking data sets that have accumulated over years of research.

The hidden-seen-too-many-x-files-episodes assumption is that someone accidently let the truth slip out, and now all the big bad scientific agencies are squelching the data so as not to threaten the established paradigm.

As if anyone remotely involved in these spaceflights wouldn't be chomping at the bit for conclusive proof of Martian life - can you say Nobel? Why on earth would any scientist want to cover that up??????
