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.

The Smartest Woman in the World?
I disagree. Not stupid, just evil.
Let Trey Gowdy do ALL questioning, in his Perry Mason style!
Turkish diplomat also.
Here’s another partisan. He was on a Sunday show.
“Only Secretary of State could grant exception”... This was because of testimony that Hicks was saying that the facility in Tripoli did not met “minimum security specs”.
Therefore, Secretary of State Clinton HAD TO GRANT AN EXCEPTION TO THIS SITUATION DIRECTLY...
He went because they had to get stuff going and get funding secured? Wow. And if you are making a change from a temporary to a permanent facility, do you typically REDUCE the security footprint?
I thought it was somebody from Turkey?
Now we’ve got some rat from Massacrewits.
Massachusetts hack up now.
He appears to be whitewashing what was just said...
Tierney up...
Making it sound like the typical “mistakes were made” excuses.
You don’t have to know the party, when a committee member talks without saying anything, you know it’s a Rat.
Hey Tierney...the only way to fix this mess is to impeach this treasonous and incompetent president!!
One of the stories that was out but never saw much play, was that he (The Amb) was to meet with a US Physician who was in Benghazi and was already there (Benghazi) to tour the hospital in the morning (11:30 or so).
You’re right.
Tv on mute
Eleanor Holmes is a bad joke.
He’s citing the Washington Compost too. Issa, eject these people for their childish antics.
Potty break.
I can’t endure demonic-rats.
