Some Relevant Links On The Interplanetary Panspermia Issue & Zubrin's Comments

Life From Space Testing Panspermia With Martian Meteorite ALH84001

Swapping Rocks Exchange of Surface Material Among the Planets

You were probably referring to Contamination From Mars No Threat when speaking of Zubrin's comments. The page linked at the planetary society also has links to replies from three relevant "experts". While they are indeed experts only one of the three replies mostly in a professional manner IMO. The other two respond like primates protecting their turf. Zubrin notes the lack of relevant response to some key points at Robert Zubrin Responds. But as I said earlier, I would refer to the articles similar to the first two links when addressing this issue rather than Zubrin's original planetary society comments.
