The indictment of Scooter Libby on Friday was not just an embarrassment for the White House -- it also raised serious questions about the way President Bush's inner circle does business.

But rather than addressing any of these questions, Bush and his aides are stonewalling. Rather than taking steps to rebuild their credibility, they are trying to change the subject. Rather than apologize, they are refusing to admit anything is wrong.

And yet something is wrong. Their credibility is damaged. And the questions won't go away.
.....
White House spokesman Scott McClellan has repeatedly refused to answer any questions on the topic -- citing the presumption of innocence and the ongoing investigation.

But the presumption of innocence hasn't stopped White House officials from talking about indictments before -- for instance when it comes to suspected terrorists.
