I'm certain 99.86% of Nasa would love just that. But the boss at
Nasa takes his marching orders from the White House. The
question isn't what Nasa wants, but the political decisions
being made elsewhere.

Wouldn't much of the radical Islamic world consider the announcement
of life as an attempt by the west to claim that, say, 'God is dead'?
Seventy percent of this country considers themselves to be
born-again Christians, and they are the party in power.
A party soon facing defeat.

This is more about who controls the discovery, and what
President Bush thinks about it. Since the rovers might
still be operating come election day, the decision to
put a lid on everything till then seems reasonable.

Doesn't make it right or wise. They want a lighting-bolt
announcement full of charts and proof galore. That's
stupid. Their job is to gather, and to let it all pour
out with all the "maybes" and " good guesses" from as many
mouths as possible. It is the job of the /public/ to
form the final conclusion....not them.

The greatest intelligence and wisdom in the known universe
flow from collective properties. As with any true election the
more deciding the better. Nasa is turning that upside down
by having a select few deciding everything for everybody.

As with all things the inverse of natural, it's a disaster
waiting to happen.
