First Lets Fix the Foam Posted Wed, 04 Jan 2006

In this article, Xinhua's headline tells us, "Likely cause of space shuttle trouble found: NASA."

While I'm sure this statement is true, I think that swapping the text on the sides of the colon would be closer to their intent by locating the source of the information -- and not the source of the problem -- with the agency. NASA, after all, is a pretty tricky problem.

The format of the headline is actually pretty common amongst some news agencies.  The CBC for example uses it very frequently on their website, see here (http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/01/04/boxing-day-suspect060104.html) for just one example chosen at random from today's news.
