I just read THIS STORY on CNN.com and I am surprised at the timing. It works well to our advantage that this story would break the month we are reading 1984. I thought it would be a good platform from which to jump for our book discussion.
So take a minute, read the article and let me know what you think. Post your impressions on the book also (for those of you who have read it). ***WARNING*** the comments will likely contain spoilers, so if you have not finished reading and don't want to know the ending don't read them!!

Here are some questions to spur discussion:
How do you feel about civil liberties in our society?
Do you feel we are coming close to the society described in 1984? If yes, how? If no, do you think we ever will?
