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.

State Department did not even respond to requests for more resources.
I wish I could say that I was surprised by what Rush does today. Have not understood his schtick in a long time.
Testimony cables not responded to by State Department for additional security prior to attacks. Thought from State Department of WHY do you keep raising these concerns. If you are not under attack ... stop complaining per State Department.
Oh boy, this will be good.
I am still on mute = Danny Davis.
Idiot Danny Davis, what a damn sin. This is what passes for representation.
Sick
Danny Davis. Another MORON from Chicago.
Is the whole CBC on this committee?
well done!
Ewwww, that would require me to spit! I don’t do that!!!! =)

Tuned to Fox News during the break in the hearings. Shemp Smith all giddy about the stupid Jodi Arias verdict (who cares?).
It's despicable that Fox dumped this incredibly important hearing - about why four brave American heroes were murdered - for a dopey "Brutal Boyfriend Murder" trial.
I'm so glad I have C-SPAN3...
LOL.
OH.
Apparently all Democrats at the hearing are under orders to speak as slowly, monotonously, and repetitiously as possible, probably in hopes of boring anyone who’s watching or listening into tuning out.
LOL.
So it seems.
Praise God! = No Sheila Jackson Lee!
DUMP FOX TOO..........
He is actually trying to claim that a plane could not get to Benghazi in 7 hours... from Italy.
What did Rush do today? I gave up listening to his show today, so I could follow the Benghazi hearing...
