There is a pdf article on the website of The Biblical Archaeology Society if anyone is interested in that. It goes into a bit more detail than the LA Times did.
Man I love this stuff :D :D

Thank you for posting it. -
The existance of the pool doesn't validate the miracle.

"The existance of the pool doesn't validate the miracle."
==Historically the existance of the pool does two things.
1. It links to Gospel of John to known history.
2. It links the event to known history/geography.
In other words it is yet another bridge that can be used to show the historical nature of the Gospels themselves.

Right on, Martin.
