That's because operator<< for QStrings always quotes them. You can do one of 
two ways to get rid of them:

	qDebug().noquote() << QString(MY_STRING);
or
	qDebug() << MY_STRING;

or, even better, if you care about the actual output format:

	std::cout << MY_STRING << std::endl;

qDebug() does *not* guarantee its output will remain stable over time. It's 
meant for debugging and your users should never have to see them.
