The Bad Quote

"In their name and on their behalf, I accept this
award and join them in hoping this recognition will
further inspire us and others to never give up, never
back down, never give in while pursuing the dream
of doing integrity-filled journalism that matters."
-- Dan Rather quoted in WashPost

Rather said this while accepting a Peabody Award for his 60 Minutes segment breaking the Abu Ghraib story. In establishing that the bad behavior that went on there was to be viewed as torture, Rather did nothing to further integrity-filled journalism.
