Julian Assange, founder of whistleblower website WikiLeaks, will apply for Swedish publishing licence. That would give the website protection under the Scandinavian country's whistleblower protection laws.
"We're dealing with organizations that don't obey the law. We're dealing with intelligence agencies," Julian Assange told news agency TT.
The WikiLeaks founder vowed Saturday to publish the last batch of secret documents on the Afghan war in "a couple of weeks", despite Pentagon pleas they would put further lives at risk.
The website’s server is located in Sweden and the organization passes information via Sweden to protect sources. Sweden has a strong tradition of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Protection of journalistic sources in Sweden is very strong.
"Sweden is vital for our work. We have had long-term support from the Swedish people and the Swedish legal system. Our servers were initially based in the United States and moved to Sweden early on in 2007," he told the newswire.
"There's actually a small industry in Sweden; a new sort of refugee exists in the world, which is publishers. It is I think something for Swedes to be quite proud of: that they are facilitating a strong and free press," he said.
But as the website has no licence to publish material in Sweden, and therefore placing the server in Sweden does not give WikiLeaks automatic protection.

He better find somewhere else.
In the past, Sweden has deported internet threats like this to America.
Of course that was with considerable pressure which may be in doubt under the big Obama Hussein.
lets publish all intel on this bozo, including home address, boyfriends info etc. If some pissed off afgan kills him, so be it.
He is a hero same as Deepthroat. Don’t we want a check and balance on spooks? You know the US govt would kill him with out arrest or trial if it could, what more do you need?
As if it's some virtuous anti-crime/public service site.
And I don’t for one minute buy the story that is a private in the Army, what horesh*t. You know it is some big spy and there is another game going on here.

A little fag boy could not be behind this. It is way bigger than that.
Why is this guy still walking around ?
I don't believed he acted alone. The compter he used will be used against him in during the trial...Howere he was a conduit to get the info to WikiLeaks.
This little fag needs to meet his Maker. In the good old days the CIA would have had a chat with him even before he released anything....and explained the facts of life to him and his associates
Kill who? The US has the leaker in hand and is getting ready to give him a trial.
Time for the CIA to visit this clown in the middle of the night.
They never caught the killer (although they prosecuted, and later released a guy who didn't do it).
Why does Assange think he can get protection in Sweden ~ it's more likely he'll be walking down a peaceful street at night and BANG. The Swedes will never catch the killer.
US gov’t has some fall guy private in hand and getting ready to give him a trial to cover their own tracks.
How do you try a man who lives in Sweden and post on line?
You either eliminate him or snatch him .
...says the one breaking the law.
We were talking about Pfc Bradly Manning. The suspect who is believed to have downloaded the material leaked to WikiLeaks.
You are being stupid and obtuse. Once the new stuff is released, it will show how corrupt and out of control the Obambi government is, that is what is happening.
