That if he didn't reply...they would "report what they know" and that since Snowden and Grahm and other revelations are already out there...they feel that their Security Agreement Restrictions are no longer valid...since the other info is already out there and they are ready to reveal what they know.
If the President doesn't want to hear it in "confindence" from THEM...then they will leak to the Media...(from which they've already had inquiries) and now they feel free to speak all they know.
That was my read of the article...that they were challenging PBO before they go out there and let what they know get into the Media.
