Calling un-embedding "censorship" doesn't seem appropriate. Embedding is the provision of special access by the government. It is under no obligation to do this. Therefore, withholding the special access cannot be considered censorship.

I missed the story, but I'm guessing some are upset that this special access was used to show the killing of an American soldier. If un-embedded, CNN would remain as free to report as before, even including killings. It would simply have to find its own ride.
