Was it not just a few weeks ago the government was telling Anthropic to take the guardrails off of the "super duper scary" models?
Now they want them back on?
AI for me and not for thee?
Or just another opportunity for a petulant administration to target Anthropic for not doing what they wanted the first time?

It can both be true that models at Fable capability level are national security concerns while Anthropic is being hypocritical.
If the Trump admin is also willing to apply the same scrutiny to GPT-5.6 and other Fable-level models, I think it is a good thing. But given the admin's history with Anthropic (such as declaring it a supply chain risk while ignoring Chinese labs), there is some smell of targeting.
