Did you not read the article then? The author lists 5 points reflecting NASA's apparent behavior?
Spokesperson Soffen
lied when the first image was released.
Termed an "unfortunate misstatement" by Sagan, it was nonetheless a LIE. Are you willing to believe that NASA spokespersons are merely inept and publicly make such "misstatements?"
And while Cydonia was an initial target for the orbiter, being as Sagan said, most interesting geologically, it was curiously ignored. Evidenced by the fact that pictures of the area were "filed away" without scientific scrutiny or further interest, only to be accidentally rediscovered.
And what about the "catbox" image from '98? Are you willing to believe that NASA employed a bunch of "interns" to process those images, and then not check their work before presenting their findings to the public? And then not even offer a retraction or a more accurately processed image?
Is Cydonia no longer most interesting geologically?
Does not the Brookings Report imply that it might be best to withhold such a discovery from the public?
Most amusing to me, within the report, is the notion that "scientists and engineers" would be most threatened.

There is no evidence for artificiallity.

So in your mind the symmetry and parallel straight lines is readily found in nature, right? Can you show me something on a similar scale that displays such characteristics?
And what about an engineering Geologists remarks that, "The so-called "Face on Mars" is unlike any natural feature I have ever seen or heard about it. To ascribe this feature of such symmetry and uniqueness to 'wind erosion' is to plead a special case for a geologic process with no supporting evidence."

NASA would be first to bang the bongos if they find something on Mars with a sufficient possibility of being artificial. If they could find such a thing, they would get more money for funding a massive Mars program than they could handle.

I don't really understand this argument since it is clear that NASA lied regarding "the face" at the outset.
Why didn't they "bang the bongos" then to get more funding?
