If I remember right, these images may be released at a later date after
the goverments use period is over (i.e. we are not at war). However,
the article says:
"According to reports, the decision to shut down access to satellite
images was taken last week, after reports of heavy civilian casualties
near Jalalabad."
I might call not wanting to show civlilian damage censorship, however
the strategic implications shouldn't fall under the censorship umbrella.
As a side note, 'public' data available from the US is partially
censored- there are gaps in the Landsat/aerial/photograph/etc coverage
in areas of 'special concern'.
