Funny however, that when a Reuters correspondent agrees with the party being cited, no quotation marks at all appear:
Note how Charbonneau slyly conveys as fact, the Turkish allegation implicit in its statement, that Israelis committed crimes. Charbonneau could have much more accurately and responsibly, bracketed the Turkish government statement with quotation marks. Had the tables been turned and a similar statement been issued by the Israeli government, experience shows Charbonneau would have gone even further, bracketing the word "crimes" to demonstrate his derision for an unproven and questionable allegation.(Reuters) - Turkey said on Friday it will seek to prosecute all Israelis responsible for crimes committed during an Israeli raid on a ship bound for the Gaza Strip that killed nine Turks in May 2010.
