Stonewalls White House inquiries with ironclad evasion, flatly refusing to confirm retiring General Ed Barrie's aggressive Sunday media blitz across Meet the Press, Late Edition, and Capitol Beat.

Chain-of-command dominance fractures against federal opacity, escalating PR crises into direct confrontations.
