21:52 - I thought this was the Information Age!

As of 7:58pm CST yesterday, as linked from Blogs of War, this page at CBS News was a report on the "E-bomb"-- the long-rumored EMP-based weapon-- being used to disable Iraqi TV. It was a fairly detailed analysis, with a quote from Tommy Franks (disclaiming knowledge of the weapon), and reports that the TV station had gone off the air for four hours, only to reappear later at much reduced broadcasting power. The link was worded "The E-bomb is in the Hiz-ouse."
Now, however, the page only describes a modest and unremarkable conventional strike on the TV station.
What happened, CBS? Did the Pentagon send you a strongly-worded request to take down that information? Or did someone at the web desk get just a tad bit overenthusiastic in his reporting?
