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.

Dear Lord.
I muted it while they’re in the break.
Once again, please refrain from profanity.
What Fox coverage?
“It’s a witch hunt...” Weeellllll......
The chickens... are coming home to ROOST!!!
Ah come on mod.......just for today? Lol
Does the stream on cspan3 have captions?
I know what you mean.
Get an electronic cig! You can smoke your butt sitting in your house without worrying about the kitties escaping.
I've never seen CSPAN comments so against the Dems.
I can’t find anyplace to watch the hearing. I have Ipad, but 2 places I was watching stopped. This is frustrating. Fox looks like they are going to talk about some trial for couple hours. Who cares.
I think it does!
Democrats are the end result of people who believe principles do not matter. This is what it ‘is’. Hopefully this will wake up the people who ‘can’ still wake up.
Filing back in now.
The cspan moderator is having to read tweets in support of the democrats, in the interest of “balance” because the callers are supporting the witnesses and their Republican questioners.
Yes! Thompson looks like he wants to throttle a few congress critters! I saw that look in my father - 25 year Marine - a few times when I was growing up! It sure worked on me!
Hey Roccus! How are things in West Virginia?
