Heck, even an Friendly Oracle AI could wreak havoc. Just imagine someone asking, "How can I Take Over The World?" and getting back an answer that would actually work... ;)

We are quite a bit more likely to get a forecasing oracle than a question-answering oracle initially.
A forecasting oracle takes past sense data, and makes predictions about what it will see next. Framing the question you mention to such a machine is not exactly a trivial exercise.
