What's with the scare quotes?

Syria 'Hinders' UN's Hariri Probe

Why not just write, "Syria fails to respond to UN's Hariri Probe?"
Or "UN wants to write a statement codemning Syria for not responding but can't because of Russia and Algeria who they are 'scared' of".
Or "Another worthless Statement from the UN"
Or "UN Statement Codemns Everyone"
