Because it was critical of the president. We now live in a country where freedom of speech and freedom of the press are no longer a gauranteed right. And all those people that love NPR, watch out because Bush keeps appointing people to the board when Congress is out of session. It's going to be just like Fox News in a few years.
Boy judging by some of these answers we have a lot of uninformed people here. You guys should wake up to the things the government is doing.

First of all, nothing is censored just because it makes the president look bad - otherwise there would be no media.
Does anyone know what was there? What makes you say it was CIA censoring no classified material?

The Bush administration is stepping in and telling the CIA to censor stuff that the CIA wouldn't have censored if it weren't for administration interference.

When a baby chicken comes out of the egg it flaps and exercises it's wings.
This CIA thing was just right wing exercise.
