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.

Bump.
That is what its looking like. There was a team ready to go, and the Consulate was told they were on their own.
The Blaze TV, Dish CH 212 is broadcasting the hearings live!!
Seriously? There is no other thread. Doesn’t exist. Thank God for the honest media and for this thread.
That is the impression that I got...yes. We don’t know who lied in the chain but only that word came from Africom that did not jive with facts we know now about assets in region.
You are one very classy lady, MWestMom. My respects.
Absolutely.....
Two of the guys carried the bodies down from the roof....tears!
We still don’t know whether he was sodomized.

Yes we do...
By way of Egypt we learned by the next day that Ambassador Stevens had been raped BEFORE he died...
It wasnt in the US news..
It came by other means...
I posted that in a thread at the time...
Good Gawd drop it!
I am hurting for him..Yes, God bless him.
Yes, but I want the state department to admit it. They did not disclose it in order to contain outrage.
We can reach out and touch anyone most of the time. With that aside the President of the United States should have been on the phone to the head of the country, not Mr. Hicks. Obama should have been on the phone screaming at them himself threatening death death death.
Hicks is riveting.
Right.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. I forgive you, then.
Amen!
Is that Tyrone Woods’ father behind Hicks?
Compelling and heartbreaking.Have to leave in 5 minutes.:(
It took til dawn for even LIBYA to give enough support for the annex and airport? and that did NOT include anything at benghazi?
