Or will he resign? When?

I hope neither of the above happens -- sorry this came about, however, I don't think it should spell the end of his career.

Rather should be held accountable for his actions. If 60 Minutes did a piece on you claiming "documentary evidence" of you being a *insert horrific allegation here* would a half-hearted, almost "apology" make you whole? I think not. Unless the people who's job it is to provide us with accurate and unbiased information are made liable for obvious lapses in basic judgement, then rumor-mongers and liars will rule the "news".

Love how the retractions are always hidden towards the back of the paper or news cast. You never see their F@&% ups on the front page.

I often read news from places that are critical of the 'established' news sources. Dan Rather consistently tops their lists for shoddy reporting. He seems to be a lazy guy. He should just toss it in and then he can stay in bed all day.

Weapons of mass destruction?
Iraq sponsored 9/11?
Nigerian Yellow Cake?
Lowering taxes for the rich will cut the deficits?
Missed flight physicals?
Swift Boaties not sponsored by RNC?
We're safer now than before?
Our economy is better now than before?
We're defending democracy with the "Patriot Act"?


Who should resign from what?

Shame on Dan Rather for acknowledging his mistake. The President should give him lessons on how to make a disaster shine like a victory.
