There are times that I'm certain Reuters' writers craft passages specifically to bait bloggers. It's as though they know, as serious reporters, they can't make the joke, but as citizens of the world, they know they cannot let the joke go unmade.

Here's the perfect example, from an article on the charges of rape and sodomy of a child leveled against Sgt. Marc Palmosina -- the key investigator in the case of the Guantanamo translator charged with espionage.

Halabi's attorney told reporters that Air Force Sgt. Marc Palmosina, who had overseen the probe against his client, had been charged with raping and sodomizing children, some as young as 11 years old, on numerous occasions, and with mishandling classified documents.

So it is for you, my anonymous Reuters amigo, that I make this joke:

Sounds like there was more than one probe he was overseeing.
