The Fox News Channel has followed up on an Iowa Independent story published late last month about the Iowa Intelligence Fusion Center.

Since fusion centers around the country have gone largely unexamined by the mainstream media, The Iowa Independent and its sister sites in Minnesota, Colorado, Michigan and New Mexico reported on activity in their states over the course of a week.

The Fox News story features interviews Russell Porter, director of the Iowa Intelligence Fusion Center, and Ben Stone, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, as they discuss the role of the fusion center and its possible shortcomings.
