It is obvious to all of us, but 20 years down the line, anti-Internet free speech people will cite Julian Assange as a sexual predator whenever Wikileaks is brought up (in an irrational manner, obviously, but that is what appeals to close to 50% of the US, at least), and by that time, this whole situation won't be as fresh in everyone's memory.

He could be a sexual predator. Makes no difference. US Embassy records are US Embassy records regardless of who posts them. The sexual predelictions of Assange have no bearing on the information his site provides.
