Barbara Starr is one of the most reliable voices in the media when it comes to facts to provide the American people a clear picture of their military. She is above reproach when it comes to providing needed exposure of wrongful acts within the military command. Relying on her has spanned decades. Clearly, the Trump White House wanted to control the messages to the American people for their own politics. This is an outrage.
The American people end wars with facts presented by the media. It is a vital part of the country's governance. Reports, especially those covering military movements and priorities are among the most important Americans have to moderate their presence in the world. There is no question Barbara Starr serves a noble purpose in the country.
I find it interesting too, that Barr and Trump decided to create an unworthiness of still yet another American woman.

The Justice Department confirmed the records were sought through the courts last year but provided no further explanation or context....
