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.

Yahoo is by far the largest online news site in the world, and also the biggest regime shill. They did have an article this morning on the hearings starting today.
Should have been Question ONE today. No excuse for them to avoid demanding names.
Glad it’s narrowed down and the GOP is doing well overall. But come on.
Haven’t seen that article, but it could be roadblocks were set out of line of site of the facility. most articles indicate there wasn’t much going on visibly except the note of Libyans taking photos. After the ambassador escorted the turk out he gate he went back to his residence. At some point people noted there was what looked like a wedding going on down the street.
The thunder overhead has stopped. Hmmmmmm.
But we need names!!!
WHO ordered the stand down...name them!
Important note.
Did they not realize 9/11 was not a high security day?
I wonder the same about their dental work.

Bwwaaahaaahaaahaaa. I simply love the smell of Twitter napalm in the afternoon.
Amen sister. I completely agree with your assessment and calling those poor girls bitches is just sorrowful.
Is will happen..Issa is doing a great job..today they are asking MORE questions..there will be many more hearings...this was designed to raise public awareness..
2:03 pm Eastern time, Gerry Connolly (D-VA, 11th District) interviews brave, patriotic witnesses-—this bastard ought to be thrown the hell OFF this committee, as HE attended The Islamic Spirit Convention on April 3rd, 2010—in support of the Dar Al Hijrah Islamic Institute in Annandale, VA—I remember...in my notes and I e-mailed him and others about it so THEY would know WE knew.
Connolly is a traitor for doing so and shouldn’t share the same air these heros breathe!
RIGHT!!!
Follow up on the damn question!
The focus was on how a Hillary operative was denied access to a meeting because that person did not have a security clearance.
Apparently, it appears Hillary Clinton and Cheryl Mills were extremely infuriated over this incident...
Sounds like Hicks got his rear end chewed pretty good by Mills because he was doing his job of protecting this country.
I want someone very credible to focus on this...
Nordstrom nailing the question.
Why can’t our side nail it like the witness does.
So the WHY was Gen Hamm arrested and relieved of command?
America MUST get his account.
He was going to send help, but the WH or Sec Def had him arrested and then what? had is second in command issue the Stand Down order?
Why can’t the General also be summoned for testimony?
Exactly what Cheney asked.....as well as why they were NOT prepared for it.
Nordstrom: “I don’t know who made that decision”
re: allowing US personnel to live and work in insecure facility that did NOT meet our own legal standards and requirements!!!
