Unleashed

Hi, is there any meaning they meant here than "release" for unleashed?

"Axelrod was pleased with Obama’s answer— any hedging
would have unleashed a tsunami of distracting speculation"

Hi, 'Unleashed' suggests more vividly that a lot of people are anxiously waiting for an opportuntiy to start speculating. Think of a fierce dog straining against its leash. That's the image.
