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.

RummyChuck - I'm going to really think this through.
My 1st thought was as you post. But, in less than 30 seconds, I said:
NAH..........
I'm not feeling too charitable towards the dems after their theater today.
They are playing with people's destinies and people's lives and not just in Benghazi.
Yes, totally inappropriate.....these kind of deals are usually not so obvious and public.
Usually, it is the dem way to take this kind of business in a quiet, well-lit restaurant. Or at a funeral. Tony Soprano style.
Reeks of bribery. And, threats.
Stunning!!
========================================
Brazen! Without talking points, they are pretty "ig-nant".
They tell life stories about themselves to run the clock down and then they accuse reps on being like bullies.

We have a rule in the house - disagreements must be in a calm, measured tone or we need to take it outside where the dogs can't hear us. Our two dogs get scarred whenever there is a loud fight on TV or Mr. h and I are having words but aren't yelling. They hide.
I'm not a really noisy person, but I yelled so much during the hearing that the dogs hid.
I shouted at the TV using various expletives (mild) at the dems and cheered on the Reps when they got a good fact in.<
This must be what Mr. hummingbird feels about Spring Madness - whatever its called - brackets and what-nots.
Dem sensitivities - SHUT UP! - did dems pick the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
Keep those kitties safe and sound inside!
It is his way of inserting himself into history! His words will be written down that he "talked of the poor security".
Connolly belongs to the Party of Talkers, not the Party of Doers.
I remember watching the whole thing unfold on Twitter.
The pictures being posted were not jibing with the “narrative” being presented on the MSM stations.

And I sure hope they have more hearings
And I sure hope they have more hearings

Hearings are a waste of time without followup action, besides if they don’t happen on the 5:00 O’Clock news, they didn’t happen.
