With mass defections and their losing money.... (Apparently 500,000 euros a week!)

They just don't have the manpower to prep those documents.

They also may have not received the files yet.

When the guys who left to create Openleaks left, they took with them their program that allows anonoymous tipsters to stay that way... so, no one wants to leak to wikileaks anymore because they can't protect you.

Wait what, openleaks? And why have defections occurred? I'll read into it now but would like to hear your version of events to sum it up.

Openleaks was started by Julian Assange's partner, because according to his partner, while he was brilliant and energetic... Julian Assange was also a paranoid, meglamaniac who cared more about hoarding money and increasing his own celebrity then he did improving the servers and websites and focusesing on smaller leaks that would have a bigger positive impact of the world then the headline grabbing huge leaks.

He also seemed annoyed that Julian Assange abused his cat.

In an eye-opening account, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, the former spokesman of WikiLeaks, reveals never-disclosed details about the inner workings of the increasingly controversial organization that has struck fear into governments and business organizations worldwide and prompted the Pentagon to convene a 120-man task force. In addition to Germany and the U.S., Inside WikiLeaks will be published simultaneously in 12 other countries.
 
Under the pseudonym Daniel Schmitt, Domscheit-Berg was the effective No. 2 at WikiLeaks and the organization’s most public face, after Julian Assange. In this book, he reveals the evolution, finances, and inner tensions of the whistleblower organization, beginning with his first meeting with Assange in December 2007. He also describes what led to his September 2010 withdrawal from WikiLeaks, including his disenchantment with the organization’s lack of transparency, its abandonment of political neutrality, and Assange’s increasing concentration of power. What has been made public so far about WikiLeaks is only a small fraction of the truth. With Domscheit-Berg’s insider knowledge, he is uniquely able to tell the full story. A computer scientist who worked in IT security prior to devoting himself full-time to WikiLeaks, he remains committed to freedom of information on the Internet. Today he is working on a more transparent secret-sharing website called OpenLeaks, developed by former WikiLeaks people, to be launched in early 2011.
