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.
*** NOTE: Press seating will be reserved, but limited. Please arrive early (hearing room will open to press at 10:30 AM) to guarantee a seat. An overflow area will be available. ***

Who’s speaking now? “The Gentleman from Michigan.” I certainly like the way he’s starting out.
I hate to listen to these dou%^#bags talking. Although, I must because Hicks destroys them!
When I go for my butt, while these idiots are speaking, I leave my front door open, with my leg stuck between the almost closed door so my indoor kitties don’t get any ideas....even thought they RUN from the open door!
Yep.
NO Amnesty!
Exactly!! Rep. Whalberg counterting “same old stories” comment, he’s good.
Connolly was bragging about his travels and trip to Libya. He talked of the poor security before 9-11. You think he would have done something about it.
Yeah, they want to prevent it from happening again. Otherwise, it happened, death is a part of life, what difference does it make. Now lets fix it..
i.e., "Can't we close the barn door now that cows are gone?"
I hear you!!!!!
Testimony, we did not respond to a terrorist event.
He stated at the beginning he was running for some office like The Association of Diplomatic whatevers.... not in the other sense.
Unreal. Three hours into a day-long hearing, the idiot declares that nothing of importance will be learned. The dems are not only psychotic, they're psychic! Who knew?
She offered him any post in the world to go too.
It is indeed. Also I think that is Joe DiGenova behind his left shoulder.
Well, as I’m a Southerner, I would point out our friends in OK, TX, WY, UT, MT and ID are mostly with us also...
