National Security threats

Soooo, I gather it would now threaten our national security to learn whether the President ordered Andy Card and Alberto Gonzales to Ashcroft's sick bed to force him to sign an okay on the NSA spying program. Sure...

The security it would threaten is the President's. He might look like the creep he is if this came out. But, of course, since he won't answer, the press won't hold him responsible.
