The White House called NBC's Brian Williams to complain after he hosted a discussion questioning last week's terrorist scare from bombs on cargo planes from Yemen, sources said. Terrorism expert Michael Sheehan and foreign affairs correspondent Richard Engel discussed the viability of the threat on Friday's "NBC Nightly News," where Williams referred to the plot as "almost inept." We're told the White House called Williams immediately after and told him, "We would never put the president out there saying it was serious unless that was the case." NBC had no comment. The White House didn't get back to us.
