be devoted to do or doing?

Very interesting.

Although many would not say 'committed to do', the COCA states that a few would. The confusing part is that it can not be a typo.

committed to do - 33 entries
committed to doing - 102 entries.

'committe to' got 7266 entries. Do you know what I mean?

No, I don't, except that 'be committed to + gerund' is on the safe side.

I feel a bit puzzled, for I have found this line on NY Times site, which reads:
(4th paragraph)
''In the past there have been walls of divide between Mexico and the United States,'' Mr. Bush said to a crowd of a few thousand people, mostly Mexicans. ''We must, we must be committed to raise the bridges of trade and friendship and freedom.''

Although it is a quote from President Bush, it seems the NY Times has taken it as an acceptable usage.

1) It was said by George Bush!! That speaks for itself!

2) It's a direct quote, therefore the NY Times can't change it. Reporting it doesn't mean they accept it as good usage. They have to report exactly what was said, if reporting it as direct speech.
