Representative Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican and chairman of the House intelligence committee, told CNN there was no sign of intelligence chatter leading up to the Benghazi consulate attack that would have warned U.S. officials to take extra precautions.
All U.S. embassies were ordered to conduct a security review in preparation for the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and were told to enhance their security if needed, according to a senior administration official who briefed reporters yesterday on condition of anonymity.

This came from the Huffington Post and like much of that they publish, it isn't true.
What Mike Rogers REALLY said was:
"It was very clear to me that they picked information for convenience sake. That fit a narrative that they believed. I don't want to question their motive or what they thought they were doing. I don't know if it was political or not. I don't have any information that it was political...I know other committees are going back to see if Congress was deliberately misled, which would be a violation of the law."
Rep. Rogers went on to say, the Committee had requested cables from the Libyan embassy for the months leading up to the attack but have not received them, adding "The cooperation is not what we had hoped."
