Fred Hiatt, described as the Editorial Page Editor had this to say in response to the Mohammed Cartoons:

"If I were faced with something that I know is gonna be offensive to many of our readers, I would think twice about whether the benefit of publication outweighed the offense it might give,"

Do we have to bring up Piss Christ or Poop Madonna again?  Nope.  Here is what he had to say on the Cartoon of the Quaddriplegic soldier: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/01/AR2006020102465.html

Fred Hiatt, The Post's editorial page editor, said he doesn't "censor Tom" and that "a cartoonist works best if he or she doesn't feel there's someone breathing over their shoulder. He's an independent actor, like our columnists." Hiatt said he makes comments on drafts of cartoons but that Toles is free to ignore them.

So, according to his own words, only censor if you are a coward and fear the reprisals, but dont if the offended people are more civilized and are just outraged, but not promising bodily harm.

Yep!  I love the smell of fresh coward in the morining.  Or is that the smell of a burning hypocrite?
