Poll question: POLL: How far has the "wiretapping" gone already?

The options in this poll are meant to be accumulative. If you choose #2 then you think 1 and 2 are both true. If you chose 5 then you think 1, 2, 3, 4, and 4 are all true.

More will come out about data mining - John Dean has said that what we know so far is the tip of the iceberg, Russell Tice is testifying in Congress next week, John Conyers said last week on Thom Hartmann's show that more would be revealed on Monday (tomorrow!).

What does DU think?

3. To paraphrase Albert Einstein

who said "not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine",

not only is the Bush Administration more corrupt and extreme than we imagine, but it is more corrupt and extreme than we CAN imagine. You have to be motivated by pure greed, power, and evil to be able to imagine it.

4. Other: we really have no way of knowing.

And wild and baseless speculation about how wiretaps may have been used doesn't change that fact (although given the decidedly Nixonian bent of the current administration there isn't much that would really surprise me).
