Hearing details:
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today announced three witnesses who will appear at a full committee hearing, “Benghazi: Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage,” on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, at 11:30 AM in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.
“I applaud these individuals for answering our call to testify in front of the Committee. They have critical information about what occurred before, during, and after the Benghazi terrorist attacks that differs on key points from what Administration officials – including those on the Accountability Review Board – have portrayed,” said Issa. “Our committee has been contacted by numerous other individuals who have direct knowledge of the Benghazi terrorist attack, but are not yet prepared to testify. In many cases their principal reticence of appearing in public is their concern of retaliation at the hands of their respective employers. While we may yet add additional witnesses, this panel will certainly answer some questions and leave us with many new ones.”
Witnesses: Mr. Mark Thompson
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism
US Department of State
Mr. Gregory Hicks
Foreign Service Officer and former Deputy Chief of Mission/Chargé d’Affairs in Libya
US Department of State
Mr. Eric Nordstrom
Diplomatic Security Officer and former Regional Security Officer in Libya
US Department of State
In October 2012, the Oversight Committee held the first hearing on the Benghazi attacks, which exposed denials of security requests and forced the Administration to acknowledge that the attacks were not sparked by a protest of a YouTube video, contrary to claims made by Obama Administration officials.

Pretend they never existed. Seems to be the Dem solution for every problem.
“I believe it was Obama, or perhaps Jarrett who is in all ways that matter the actual POTUS”
Nothing will happen with this because a majority of Americans in their self-centered Id dominated lives simply do not care that the POTUS and the future POTUS ( hillary) are guilty of Treason.”
Ever hear of the silent majority? Now they are partly T.E.A. Party and mostly hacked off beyond belief. I hear your side, but know tons of folks that think just like we do. Have faith. And yes.... VJ runs the country. I want to know where SHE was on 9/11/12 and to whom SHE communicated on that night. We need answers. She is evil as are the rest of the zippy administration.
Patrick F. Kennedy - born: Chicago, Ill
The State Dept. had $500,000 bucks to put solar panels on the Paris embassy.
Chicago rat, probably spawned from a Blagojevich egg.
yes, we need answers not from politicians but from People who care about our loses.
TYVM
LOL.
God bless and keep you, dearest Marcella!
BTTT
Oh boy. Hicks fault for not warning Stevens about danger in Benghazi. My god, Stevens himself sent mail after mail asking for security, warnings of deteriorating conditions.
Normalization
Nordstrom: First saw it in budget proposal shortly after we arrived.
Saw it again in Feb.
Nordstrom: I saw it as some part of a script.
We sarcastically referred to it as “Do more with less.”
Sounds like Cardenas asked a question when he didn’t know the answer. Bad idea.
Thank you very much for posting that link.
-— . I give it a B+. -—
Just checking in. Glad to hear it.
That blame hit-job was despicable.
You’re welcome. I’m not a big fan of sendups like that on serious subjects but that one is very well done IMO.
Fox still covering that psycho boyfriend killer. Nice priorities.
Security concerns raised on trip by Ambassador Stevens. Shortened trip. Testimony ... Ambassador Stevens went to do his job.
I thought that Hunger Games was just a bunch of fiction...
But the Federal Government has made it a priority to put people on Food Stamps and has cut the Department of Defense spending...
The analogy is too close for comfort.
Maybe Obama and Hillary threw Amb. Stephens into the Arena on purpose (the Arena as in the Hunger Games
Sorry for the diatribe...
