BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: The folks at NATO have put out a beautiful video about Chicago in preparation for the upcoming NATO summit there. And while it's a terrific tribute to a great city, there are some problems.
Offscreen Voice: We'll meet in the capital of Illinois this time.
Voice: The decision was made by the American President Barack Obama , who wanted this event to take place in the city he grew up in.
WILLIAMS: OK, a few facts wrong. But there are other errors in it, as well. And in all fairness, how many Americans know where NATO headquartered?
Answer: Brussels. And the secretary-general of NATO 's name? Answer: that would be Anders Fogh Rasmussen . NATO is said to be correcting their narration.
