Uhm. Wikileaks is based in Sweden? I don't think so.

  What, were you expecting Tech Crunch to check facts beyond a trip to Wikipedia? Actually seems like they can't even handle that a lot of the time. So, I guess WL is based in Iceland now or something, but I guarantee very few people actually care.

  If I recall, Wikileaks does work Swedish jurisdiction (where it is illegal to reveal a source in some circumstances) into their submission chain somehow. Or is it The Netherlands I am thinking of?

  The primary servers are in Sweden because of the favorable free speech climate -> higher barriers to take down notices. The video editing was done in Iceland a few months ago. Julian Assange is Australian. There are people from pretty much everywhere working on the project. WikiLeaks is a trans-national organization, trying to fit things like it into a construct where it has a nationality is obsolete.
