Saint Mary Magdalen has a interesting group of Photos of Pope Benedict and Jordan's King Abdullah II at the site. See Pope and the King baptism trip Much to the disappointment of I expect Israeli Tourist officials I think the consensus is becoming this is the actual site. It will be interesting to see how it's developed.
On a related issue the River is sadly polluted it appears at both sites because of actions both in Israel and Jordan dealing with sewage runoff and also runoff from farms in Israel. As to Farm Fertilizer runoff we folks in Louisiana can very much sympathize
