The fact is that NASA had screwed it up once before when the Viking landers in 1976 sent back indications of life but chose to ignore the analysis by the scientist at the time who claimed it was a life form reacting in the sample, but a re-test proved non-conclusive and left it as that but years later in their reassessment they over-ruled their decision indicating a life form on Mars had in fact been discovered.
So, now, when another opportunity comes along, they're not going to make a determination until they're absolutely positive, But from the article it seems the possibility of some form of primitive life form has indeed been discovered. Stay tuned.

life on Mars? A new food source. I hope they don’t taste like chicken, I’m all chickened out.
How do we know that any biologic samples are not the result of contamination from the probes that we sent to Mars over the last decades? After all, scientists believe the much more implausible theory that life came to Earth aboard chunks of Martian soil blasted from the surface of Mars by a meteor impact, survived flight through open space and fiery entrance through the Earth’s atmosphere...
