Dan Rather can not be trusted as an honest reporter. It doesn't matter if he intentionally lied or just made a mistake. He made so many irresponsible mistakes as a reporter on the Bush AWOL story that he should never be trusted in the capacity as a reporter. This is true for many industries where people's lives are dependant on the integrity of the professional's performance, such as Aerospace Engineers.
It seems fitting to me that an untrustworthy reporter and a questionable engineer would get together and hold each other up. Neither one of these two can divorce themselves of less than honorable motives for pushing this story. Why would anyone with half a brain listen?
