      - If NASA schedules the announcement of bogus claims about water on Mars to coincide with the release of bad news from Iraq, then it belongs right here - E.P. - 12/8/2006 1:17:22 AM

        re: So every time they have major claims about Mars they coincide with every major Iraq announcements? - Chris Vancil in AZ - 12/8/2006 2:21:43 AM
        
        No, news releases from Mars Express are not timed to bad news from Iraq - E.P. - 12/8/2006 3:00:51 AM
        
        Just wondering: what news releases do NOT coincide with the press reporting bad news from Iraq? (n/t) - TB - 12/8/2006 10:26:20 PM
