[meteorite-list] Water on Mars?

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi all - 

I am NOT following the Mars imaging suite parameters closely, 
but I have a question for your consideration:

Do the new images really demonstrate water on Mars, 
or could they instead be showing the yearly cycle of 
hydrocarbons delivered to Mars by cometary impact?

In all of the press releases, I have seen no mention of 
Nick Hoffman, who pointed out these streaks years ago, 
and was the first to do so, to my knowledge.

He tied them to clathrates.
