[Full story at NewsBusters.org] Appearing on CNBC's Tim Russert on March 26, 2005, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams delivered a version of the Iraq-helicopter story that included his pilot taking "an AK-47 round right through the earlobe, Purple Heart." Writing in the New York Post this week, pilot Chris Simeone disputed Williams' version: “I do not have a Purple Heart, and my ears are just fine.”
