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.

And THAT needs to be hung around the necks of Rice, Biden and most of all, Obama.
…we were running guns to Muslim brotherhood into Turkey for Syria. CAIR member from Dallas..needs investigating, recently appointed to position in administration
...Bigger than Watergate...CIA changing documents, President running guns to rebels in another country, military abandoning special forces, sos lies, President lies, media cover-up
Bump your post. Folks, while there’s a lot of hyperbole in Yosemitest’s post, the raw facts are TREASON.
0bama was most likely supporting Al Qaeda in Libya and Syria with shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles that could be used against American airliners.
THAT’S TREASON.
That’s why the 0bama Administration is doing everything it can to quash Benghazi.
We've heard excerpts from Hick's expected testimony how Lt.Col. Gibson and his team were just aboard to board a C-130 from Tripoli, when Gibson received a call from his SOCAFRICA HQ telling him that "..you can't go now, you don't have the authority to go now.."
Have we learned the name of officer who issued that NO GO order, and from where it came? The chain of command in the military is carefully delineated..it seems it would be easy to walk the cat back to whatever civilian authority ultimately gave the NO GO.
If they are required to show a passport for international travel, like the rests of us, suspend their passports!
They would just suspend regs and look for a friendly country to land - one that protects from extradition.
I liken Obama and Hillary to those three Castro Bro’s who held the women captive in Cleveland for 10 years......those 30 survivors of Benghazi are still being “ chained” in the
“ basement” by Obama and Hillary.

Of the MSM, CBS seems to have been the most on this. Bob Schieffer was visibly pissed on Sunday at the way HE had been used by Susan Rice. Will CBS go gavel to gavel?
Will stand on what I typed. Your work on this matter has taken away my breath. Your post needs a wider audience. May it be! May the Mods ... see your post and understand this post deserve a place of Honor!
With any JUSTICE, We will begin to hear their names and their stories SOON!!!!
I don't think we have. Have we learned who issued the "GO" order?
Will CBS go gavel to gavel?
++++++++++++
I would be shocked to see that happen. The real test will be at CNN - will they or won’t they?
