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.

ARB is Accountability Review Board. It was a review committee set up to go through the motions of investigating Benghazi and to sweep it under the rug.

Reiterated in testimony ... video was not the cause of the attack.
LOLOLOL.
Yes she is and listening very intently and taking notes!
Connoly (sp?) bringing up the NYT article as if it proves a damn thing...
Administrative Review Board, put in place by State Dept to “investigate” what happened in Benghazi...
Headed by former? Amb Pickering and Adm Mike Mullen...
Toadies both for Obozo...
No steno, no recorders. PLUS, Hicks said that while he himself had attorneys present, not all of those who were interviewed did. That's outrageous. Then, he was never allowed to read the final report, and he's left knowing that his testimony could have been editorialized. OMG.
For crying out loud.
Gosar back up...
Dems motto..deflect deflect deflect..oh and vote early and vote often
Tell us your nurses name and address. We will take care of her. =)
