Telegraph censorship

Funniest thing ever. There was an article on The Telegraph titled: European banks may need 16.3 trillion bail out EC-dcoument warns. Well, actually the article is still there but they changed it. It is now called "European bank bail-out could push EU into crisis". So they took some stuff out of there. If you take a look at the url, the web address, the title of the original article is still there. But umm... The figures and some parts of the text that mention the secret document AND the figures... are not.
I'll post the filtered content here:

"European Commission officials have estimated that impaired assets may amount to 44pc of EU bank balance sheets. The Commission estimates that so-called financial instruments in the trading book total £12.3 trillion (13.7 trillion euros), equivalent to about 33pc of EU bank balance sheets.

In addition, so-called 'available for sale instruments' worth £4trillion (4.5 trillion euros), or 11pc of balance sheets, are also added by the Commission to arrive at the headline figure of £16.3 trillion.
"

Now I have seen that original content on the site with my very eyes. Someone wanted it out of there. I first noticed it on Prisonplanet.com forum and I bet it's still there (they usually copy the article and the link). If you don't believe me just google the url to the article and see what other blogs and sites have to say about it.

Why was the content removed? Obviously they were in hurry because they didn't have the time TO CHANGE THE ORIGINAL URL. Why?
