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.

Shep makes me want to punch the T.V. set.
Fox is unfortunately talking about the Jodi Arias trial and filling time by going over what is already blatantly obvious in the trial.
I agree, Lexinom.
Fox covered it for a while.

thanks it works now for me
LOL.
Is he on?
Good. Lets hope the questions Freepers have been asking since Sept 12 come op .
I wanna hear more from Thompson. It’s as if BOTH sides are afraid of what he will say.
Would love to be in the same room with Lyons and Mullen...
Please?
Even on the Democrat line, a DEMOCRAT is bashing the Dems.
thanx
CSPAN calls in now...most of the calls are shocked.
Please, everyone ... we must forgive the democrat voters, they know not what they do.
Cspan democrat caller blaming Obama for coverup and not protecting our people!
Oops..next caller back on the narrative of evil republicans trying to bring down a president.
good!
A first for CSPAN -—
all of the callers are on the “Republican line.”
Many of them have commented on the total lack of actual questions from any democrat congressman.
I guess only Republicans are tuned in to this at all. And since the rest of the country are more interested in stupid Jodi, the lack of interest by leftists is understandable.
Almost all CSPAN callers are seeing the truth.
Just a personal observation ..... I’m have a really hard time not being physically ill watching the Democraps on the committee with their comments/questioning and that’s before I even get to the subject of Obama & Hillary’s actions or lack thereof. It is hard to believe we have ‘such as these’ in government and responsible for making the kinds of decisions they are entrusted to make - then again, sheeple had to vote them in. Hicks, et al certainly could have taken the ‘easy road’ and kept quiet, but they have what few in government have these days - a conscience, integrity and courage. I doubt if Obama/Hillary have lost a single night’s sleep since 9-11-2012.
