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.

Maybe he has been offered a contract by CNN or MSNBC...
Or maybe Obama is going to personally thank him (before Obama throws him under the bus)...
FEST deployment was denied by lady under Patrick Kennedy.
The WH gave the order not only to stand down a military response to the attack but to stand down from rescuing the survivors....
BOMBSHELL!! (If I understand this testimony correctly)
His next objection is going to be that he had the document, but no one has been available to read it to him yet.
Cummings was again sucking air out of the room...he’s a plant for this Administration.
CSpan-3 is on my cable service, Cox.
FEST rep. wasn’t there? He doesn’t know why they weren’t sent?
Give me a break.

Stop burbling about having the document in hand and let the man testify.
NO counter terorism or fest(?) rapid response? called in.
Norton isn't on my favorites list either.
Bingo!!
IMPEACH!!
And 0bambi did nothing. And everyone in the military was told NOT TO RESPOND to the overrunning of multiple posts in Libya.
0bambi allowed, nay, assisted in the slaughter of Americans.
If so, that has changed from when I last had up-to-date info. Back then it was internet. Anyway, the poster said it wasn’t on her tv, so she could go to the site if she has internet.
Thanks for the update.
Norton:blah blah blah lies lies lies
