There are those who ascribe the 'Arab Spring' to the data leaked by Manning... I'm just still not sure whether that's good for Manning or bad for Manning.

- tptacek 14y agoThis devolves rapidly into politics but for my part I'll say that a credible connection between Wikileaks and the Arab Spring would help affirm the value of the document dump --- though obviously this is a thread about Manning's culpability and I'm with you 100% on that.
- mcphilip 14y agoAs a counter point, there are many who ascribe the Arab Spring to a substantial spike in commodity price inflation leading to the self immolation of the peasant in Tunisia which is widely recognized as the key first event leading up to Arab Spring.
