why was this comment re the demo removed from two postings? (secular contingent)

why was this comment removed from two postings (one re demo chants, one re the "anticap bloc")? it was only advertising a democratic and secular contingent on the demo and its meeting point. and why.

a similar article posted (later) in its own right (  http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=42159&group=webcast ) was left on the front page and was not "hidden" in the newswire pages, so whats the IMC policy on censoring comments then???

The text of the comment was something like this

Solidarity and Workers' Liberty are supporting the anti-war march on
Saturday 28 September, 12.30
from Embankment. We are however concerned at the fact that the anti-war
protest has been
combined with an Islamist protest on Palestine, called by the Muslim
Association of Britain and
using slogans such as "Zionists out of Palestine"; "Zionists, Zionists, you
should know/ Back to
Palestine we'll go".

Together with other comrades, we are organising a distinct
democratic/secular
contingent on the demonstration, with slogans such as "No to war, no to
Saddam", "Israel out of the
Occupied Territories", "Two Nations, Two States". Please join us.

We will be assembling from 10am at Temple tube (Temple, not Embankment,
the environs of which will be too crowded for distinct contingents to
assemble). More: 07748 185 553.
