STOCKHOLM (AFP) – The whistleblower website WikiLeaks will place several new servers with the Swedish Pirate Party, the group which campaigns for more freedom on the Internet said Tuesday.
"The Pirate Party will provide bandwidth and hosting to WikiLeaks free of charge as part of its political mission," the party said in a statement.
It said the agreement was reached at a meeting in Stockholm at the weekend with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
"We welcome the help provided by the Pirate Party," Assange was quoted as saying in the statement. "Our organisations share many values and I am looking forward to future ways we can help each other improve the world."

Aiding espionage.
Remember when supposedly leaking Valerie Plame’s profession put agents in the field in danger?
The presstitutes sure did a 180 on that concept.

“Aiding espionage.”
I disagree. There’s ntohing covert about the ‘Swedish Pirates’ or Wikileaks people. They are not the problem. They are revealing security breaches not causing them.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange attends a seminar at the Swedish Trade Union Confederation headquarters in Stockholm August 14, 2010. News reports said that WikiLeaks plans to release soon about 15,000 documents on the Afghan war it held back last month. WikiLeaks caused an uproar when it published more than 70,000 documents in July, at a time when U.S. public and congressional support for the nine-year war in Afghanistan is flagging. The defense department said the leak -- one of the largest in U.S. military history -- put U.S. troops and Afghan informers at risk. Assange told Swedish TV channel SVT on Thursday that WikiLeaks had a responsibility to publish the documents. REUTERS/Scanpix/Bertil Ericson
Reporters doing news stories that feature photographing or interviews of any of these people should consider themselves fair game.
No one parties like the Swedish Pirate Party.
Try that same excuse with a video file of the latest Hollywood movie.
It is criminal to download the wikileaks files. They are stolen property and of military intelligence information.
There were traitors like the gay soldier who stole 69,000 files from government servers.
Outright turncoats.
I don’t understand how this murderer is walking the streets free as a bird continuing harming the security of the USA ...WHERE are the bounty hunters??? This guy should be 6ft under for all the blood he shed.
Uh, what? Go to the FBI and turn in the perp. Not aid him and complete his mission to destroy others. Jack.
“Swedish Pirate Party, the group which campaigns for more freedom on the Internet.”
How does Swedish restrict the use of the interned?
