"NASA Announces Discovery of Flowing..."
It sounds like the "flowing" descriptor is being improperly used according to the chief scientist.
Rich Zurek, Chief Scientist, NASA Mars Program Office; Project Scientist, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter said:
Think of this as a "seep" not a flow. We have not seen flowing water on the surface. We see something that darkens the soil, which may be just a wetting action but still involves (briny) liquid. -RZ
This is still really cool though.

is an AMA that a few from the team did on Reddit today.
