You see the Arab Spring as a bad thing?

  No, and that is precisely the point: the question is meant to suggest that if the result of publishing documents is an escalation in a conflict, it must be that publishing the documents was bad. Most people in America seem to agree that the Arab Spring was a good thing; I think it is therefore safe to conclude that it is not always bad to reveal information that causes a conflict to escalate.

    "I think it is therefore safe to conclude that it is not always bad to reveal information that causes a conflict to escalate." The other assumption also requires that the former stability is not predicated on existing harm.
