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.

Not necessarily. Depends on the drone.
I sure hope they are not trying to keep Susan Rice in a good light. She issued a memo ONE DAY after the attack with full knowledge that Ansar Al Sharia was to blame but then went on many Sunday shows accusing a video.
Pinnochios must be something that low-information voters understand.
Thank you, dear! The democrats are making fools of themselves defending this administration.
Mr. Jordan is an A$$....
And why does he seem SO angry?
Ditto that!
Good God, it doesn’t mean shit whether someone doubts Clapper’s veracity... there was no Tripoli report about a “demonstration.” Jeeeeze.
he dared to ask a critical question of Beth Jones, and Obama/Hilary scumsacks turned on him like the rats they are.....
Everything changed after Hero Hicks opened his mouth about the talking points!
Hicks told not to continue line of questioning to his superiors....another Bombshell!!
Beth Jones said I DON’T KNOW and he got the sense that he should stop the questioning.....
And that might be dictated by the situation (host country might not want armed drones)...
Hicks has just made it known that he was told NOT to talk to Chaffetz.
Are you kidding. He is doing fantastic.
SMOKING GUN RIGHT NOW about not talking to chaffetz
YW.
Hicks told NOT to talk to a Congressman!!!
Has that ever happened....Never!
Don’t hold your breath
Congressman Jordan is a ball of fire redirectly testimony after the attacks by Congressman Tierney (D-MA).
