Could someone please just start up a new Wikileaks with the exact same policies & capabilities, but with better people?

"Believe nothing that you hear, and only half of what you see."

Or maybe just believe what you want to believe.

I'm pretty sure yours is a tautology.

Wikileaks is denying this, I am really wondering who to believe at this point.

If it turns out the full db is out in the wild after denying it wikileaks is done for.

The tweets seem to hint that the file is available out in the open but that wikileaks is not the (immediate) source of the file.

The Times isn't reporting that the "insurance" file was decrypted, which is all Assange denies with that tweet. The allegation is that the unredacted "cablegate" cables, which Assange already provided to major news outlets (all of which were given an additional layer of redaction by editorial staff) have now been published directly.
