Sorry, this is plainly false. This article and the testimony of people involved with Wikileaks (see Craig Murray's reporting for that) show that Assange was actually incredibly careful and diligent in redacting. It was the newspapers that were eager and impatient to publish.
It was a Guardian journalist's recklessness that let everyone see the unredacted cables, not Assange's.
To this day, those files are still available.

>In the past year alone, the radical transparency group has published medical files belonging to scores of ordinary citizens while many hundreds more have had sensitive family, financial or identity records posted to the web. In two particularly egregious cases, WikiLeaks named teenage rape victims. In a third case, the site published the name of a Saudi citizen arrested for being gay, an extraordinary move given that homosexuality can lead to social ostracism, a prison sentence or even death in the ultraconservative Muslim kingdom.
>The AP independently found three dozen records pertaining to family issues in the cables — including messages about marriages, divorces, missing children, elopements and custody battles. Many are very personal, like the marital certificates that reveal whether the bride was a virgin. Others deal with Saudis who are deeply in debt, including one man who says his wife stole his money. One divorce document details a male partner’s infertility. Others identify the partners of women suffering from sexually transmitted diseases including HIV and Hepatitis C.
I was replying to "Assange and Wikileaks dumped the entire set of files". "The entire set of files" referring to the Cablegate documents, not the ones you're referring to here.
Wikileaks have already addressed the ones you're referring to in a letter to the AP: https://www.docdroid.net/Gi3unfx/letter-to-ap-fv-pdf

A Guardian journalist published the password to the unredacted trove in his book. Without that action, there would have been no "unredacted release". Nobody went around anything.
Why would you go around spreading falsehoods?
