WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said documents taken by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden will still be published.
"There is no stopping the publishing process at this stage," Assange told ABC's This Week Sunday.

In the meantime, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said Snowden stands as an example of why there needs to be a "civilian interface" for the thousands of Americans with security clearances who work with top-secret information, adding that the interface must come with "robust security."
Snowden, he said, hadn't been a "stellar student" but had been allowed access to state secrets. McCaul spoke on C-SPAN's Newsmakers program Sunday.
"I kind of question who we're giving access to, and we should take another look," said McCaul, who has complained that only the Intelligence Committee handles oversight of classified information. McCaul would like his committee to have access so that members may have a debate about what civilians are allowed to see, even as both Republicans and Democrats have worked to further limit access so that it can't be leaked.
