I cannot believe that the train of logic for this thread that everyone is debating is "Did NASA # with the colors of the pictures? If so, then they must be hiding something, and if they are hiding something, there must be life on Mars! #!"
Aaack.

As one poster said, NASA would probably gain more fundings if they would show everything they find, and there by saying that NASA have not found anything in particular.
Not sure i can agree to something like that, since we hardly know what the 'bigger' picture is, or if there is a bigger picture.
I think the bigger 'picture' is alot more scary than we want to know

There are many trains of thought in this thread and the photo colour is just one part. Try checking out some of the other sources and you might be quite surprised where it leads you. For instance we were told that no liquid water can exist on Mars, and yet the surface temperature does in fact go above 0 degrees celcius, and that water ice clouds form at the equator.
As for the evidence that life can exist in extreme conditions, maybe check out the following report on the Red Rain of Kerala in India. The cells can survive extreme conditions that currently was not thought possible. Rather than taking just one argument and dismissing the entire thread, try looking at all of it.

besides what would be the point of even sending the landers there if not to discover something.

Landing the Mars Exploration Rovers

The areas that satisfy the basic engineering requirements of the mission represent just 5 percent of the surface area of Mars and form the starting locations to begin identifying potential landing ellipses. This
first-round elimination of 95 percent of the planet results from three basic criteria: elevation, latitude and surface dust.
The rovers will be powered by sunlight. This constraint eliminates most of the planet. The landing sites must be close to the equator — specifically, between 5 degrees north and 15 degrees south for the first Mars
Exploration Rover (MER-A), and between 10 degrees north and 10 degrees south for the second (MER-B).
