Summary
In Robert O'Harrow Jr's article State Groups Were Formed After 9/11, he discusses intelligence centers instituted after 9/11 that, "have access to personal information about millions of Americans, including unlisted cellphone numbers, insurance claims, driver's license photographs and credit reports. Specifically, he cites the Washington Post as being his source in this matter.

However, the government refuses to elaborate on the centers activities, simply stressing that they are important to National Security.
