Editor's note: U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz represents Utah's 3rd Congressional District.
Washington (CNN) -- In testimony that sharply contradicted the Obama administration's initial narrative of the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, three witnesses shared firsthand accounts this week of what happened before, during and after the attack.
The three testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, recounting the horrific events that took the lives of four heroic Americans that day at the U.S. Consulate.
Much of what we have known about Benghazi to this point has come from Obama administration sources. The accounts of these brave witnesses raise troubling questions about the veracity of what we've been told by official sources since the attack took place.
The first contradiction pits former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's explanation of security conditions at the compound against that of Eric Nordstrom, the former regional security officer at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. In his testimony Wednesday, he repeated assertions he'd made to Congressional investigators last year that his recommendations to upgrade security were ignored at the highest levels.
Yet roughly four months after the attacks, Clinton told the House Committee on Foreign Affairs that "specific requests and decision making" on security "rest with the security professionals."

Hillary: Ain't my fault.
CNN has some ‘splainin to do on Ben Ghazi.
Two BIG words....
Candy Crowley
No pics please!
They have a lot of nerve.
NO pics.
Obama has some explaining to do because YOU AT CNN let him lie with impunity.
And you knew it. You DID NOT DO YOUR JOBS at CNN.
And if this new info had not come out you would still be covering for him.
And now you are going to act all sanctimonious? YOUR LIPS ARE PRACTICALLY SEWN TO HIS A$$HOLE
I have a feeling that Ben Rhodes and the other propagandists are running amok in the WH right now, spinning a speech for the Lil Dictator to give tomorrow, pre-empting the Price is Right , and the media will be given the questions they better ask beforehand.
O didn’t know, I told Clinton to, I had to, I’m just as surprised as you, I will find out and bring them to justice. Blah, blah, blah!
Benghazi should be a warning to all persons working for the Obama administration posted in a foreign country and if anything happens and it makes the President look bad be prepared to be abandoned to your fate
From who? This administration is not looking for them.
Books shojuld be coming out on how Obama put his election ambitions before the safety of American Citizens. These people seem to delight in lying. They know they can get away with it!
Oh Bama will not rest his golf game till they capture those who murdered Americans.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Are people at CNN turning against Hussein ?
By force. I bet it is reluctantly on their part.
That’s “on the run” as in “running rampant”.
Fine work as always.

Get Popcorn. Rats are scurrying this weekend to come up with meme for Sunday talk shows. Make no mistake, they will continue to blame anybody they can including those that think this whole thing stinks. sick of hearing, “embassy’s were compromised under Bush”!
Bush NEVER left a fallen soldier behind or turned his back on them!!!!!!!
Many things I hate about the Bush’s, patriotism is not one of them!
I should only wish for the firing squad for these scumbags, problem is they would find a way for the opposition to this scandal to be the ones fired upon.
Pass the salt.
