A much more in-depth article... the key, I think, (to why they thought it had feathers and why it did) is that evidently Velociraptor was a type of dinosaur closely related to modern birds. I wonder if the types less closely related to birds looked similarly or not... though not all of them had feathers, of course. I somehow doubt that the ones that lived underwater had feathers... penguins notwithstanding. (okay, maybe some had something like that...) :)
