SeeBS Online actually has a pretty good article up:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57583014/diplomat-u.s-special-forces-told-you-cant-go-to-benghazi-during-attacks/

This guy Hicks (Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks) appears to be willing to tell what he knows, which is quite a bit, and could be the key...

That said, it may be what he learned somewhat afterward that has pushed Hicks to testify. From the (recommended) Wikipedia article* (lots of details all in one place) which quotes the book “Benghazi: The Definitive Report,” by Jack Murphy and Brandon Webb: Deputy National Security Advisor John O. Brennan was running his own little private war on terrorists in Libya and NOT keeping Amb. Stevens OR the CIA in the loop. The book claims the attack on the compounds was a retaliatory attack, from a direction Stevens did not expect: Ansar al-Sharia.

Now, we know Amb. Stevens obviously WAS worried about the security situation, but perhaps he did indeed not expect an attack from Ansar al-Sharia, as, after all, they were supposedly working for the Libyan Gov’t to provide security in Benghazi.

Granted, Ansar al-Sharia may not have been the only actors on that side of it... But Deputy Chief Hicks would seem to have MANY reasons to be angry. I hope he has some Seals or trusted CIA as guardians. Though apparently his testimony has already been given, for the truth to really get out, this guy needs to be interviewed on TV, extensively.

The Wikipedia article does have omissions and biases. For example, it seems to attempt to exonerate some of Obama’s statements by referring to the video tapes of the attack being recovered after Obama made some of those statements (lies) about the nature of the attack, as if: None of the video was watched live or recalled, none of the phone calls from our people in Libya were recorded or recalled, no information was coming back from survivors or other persons closely involved (Deputy Chief Hicks, for example!!), and no one “heard” the Libyan President’s remarks on Sept. 16.

Uh-huh.
