Default Amino Acids discovered on Titan (?)

In this interview,

http://wildcat.arizona.edu/papers/98/78/01_1.html,

the reporter quotes Martin Tomasko, UA research professor and DISR
principal investigator: "Preliminary results show, like Earth, Titan
has a significant nitrogen-based atmosphere. Data also shows Titan
contains methane, hydrocarbons and amino acids, which are all
substances required for primitive life, Tomasko said."

I guess we'll find out for sure at the next ESA news conference, 2am
PST tomorrow.
