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.

Good. I don’t want to hear their lies.
Worthless.
It is going to be REPLAYED tonight...
Video of the hearing is already on places like RCP...
I imagine FoxNews is recording it.
Maybe people should start calling their CongressCritters and ask them for copies of this hearing on DVD...
He’s from Vista, used to be my Congressman. Those were the good ol’ days!
They're all doing it now, and forcing Hicks to answer questions about what we can do in the future to protect ourselves in the future.
We don't need congressional hearings and witnesses protected by whistleblower status to answer questions like this! Issa should try to do something to get this back on track.
You have nailed it!
LOL
Was the interview recorded, so a steno wasn't required? Sorry if I missed that.
Ace of Spades has an article on that today -- how the media uses qualifiers to make people with preferred positions seem "just like you" and anyone who differs from the approved line is "not like you".
No. Just smoking bodies and consulates.
These Democrats are wastes of skin.
Pretty surprising from an Iraq war vet...who went to the dark side.
Security for diplomats not as important as for the troops?
Talk about dancing with the devil who brought you.....
True!
Any reports from those interviews is editorialized....not 100% factual.
When ARB interviewed witnesses..no stenographers were even present to record their statements. In other words...an editorial exercise from the beginning. The ARB had no intention of finding or recording truth....only to shield and protect administration.
This IS NOT a fix it hearing. This IS a what happened hearing. They are completely off topic.
” lets move on lets move on lets move on lets move on lets move on lets move on lets move on lets move on lets move on”
Yeah, before some of us are impeached, or jailed.
Pure "Mad Men". Don Draper has taught them well.
I think you've caught the essence of the 'rat position.
