Brian Williams' alleged lies: A list By DYLAN BYERS02/13/2015
The NBC News investigation into the veracity of Brian Williams' personal stories is ongoing, but a list of examples is already starting to build. As these examples leak out, it's important to keep in mind that not every inconsistency in Williams' history qualifies as a lie. For instance, there are two examples of possible 'embellishment' that have surfaced recently, including Hurricane Katrina and Pope John Paul II, which only reflect minor inconsistencies. They are doubted narratives, not disputed ones. The reader might think twice about adding them to the list of Williams' wrongdoings simply because they've been reported on.
There are, however, three real examples that should raise red flags. They are:
'Choppergate'
During the January 30, 2015, NBC Nightly News broadcast, Brian Williams referred to "a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of Iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an RPG." Williams later said he was not in the the helicopter that was hit by an RPG, but in a helicopter direclty behind it. The pilots of Williams' helicopter say their chopper was not directly behind the hit Chinook, but in a different company altogether.
SEAL Team 6
During the May 3, 2011, NBC Nightly News broadcast, Williams said that he had "the great honor of flying into Baghdad with [SEAL Team 6] at the start of the war." A Special Operations Command spokesman has told Huffington Post: "We do not embed journalists with this or any other unit that conducts counter-terrorism missions." Said another SEAL officer to CNN: "That early in the conflict, there were only missions taking place, not bouncing between outstations."
The Berlin Wall
At a 2008 forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Williams said that he "was at the Brandenburg Gate the night the [Berlin] wall came down." As CNN reports, "'the night the wall came down' is widely recognized as November 9, 1989. ... An NBC News source in a position to know confirmed to CNNMoney that "Brian arrived the day after the wall came down."
