<blockquote> Al Qaeda is on the run. That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly, but surely being decimated. Right now, about half of all the top al Qaeda operatives are either jailed or dead. In either case, they're not a problem anymore. And we'll stay on the hunt. To make sure America is a secure country, the al Qaeda terrorists have got to understand it doesn't matter how long it's going to take, they will be brought to justice. </blockquote>

After pressure from bloggers, Dowd did put the full quote in a later column, but the New York Times never ran a correction.

The problem with the about "full quote" from Peter Ward is that it is also a misquote. The bold face part appeared on page 29 of a book, and the italics part appeared on page 35.<ref>http://www.csicop.org/intelligentdesignwatch/designers.html</ref> By running the quotes together, it has been Dowdified, as the bloggers say. Also, Dembski originally just quoted one sentence, not the three-sentence boldface quote. So the above description of Dembski is an example of underhanded misquoting.
