"Then he said, as if someone had just asked him, that he won't release documents that reflect advice she may have given him at the White House."
This suggests that the White House is taking the suggestion Charles Krauthammer made a couple of days ago. In his column, Krauthammer said Bush should use the dispute over releasing documents as a face-saving way to explain Miers' withdrawal: He'd spin it not as an attempt to correct an idiotic mistake but as a heroic defense of executive privilege. It sounds like the Bush people have decided this is their best way out, and that Bush was instructed to lay the groundwork for it by reiterating his position on the documents at the Cabinet photo-op regardless of whether anyone asked about it or not.
