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.

True. I just need to do what is right in His name.
Haven’t most of them left the room?
The testimony was “use of air space” and that that was granted before the attacks. Why would they ask for air space use before the attack?

” The entire Obama regime are GUILTY!”
OH YES!
Is it me- or does it look like the Dems have disappeared now that the media is in full cover up mode? Is there a person, with any integrity, left in the political beast?
You are.
God bless and keep you.
Thank you. I missed (or forgot) that!
...and the libs complained about response time in Katrina. [while the Dems didn't bother to use the schoolbusses to evacuate people because they wanted to make the situation as bad as possible for political reasons.]
Happy Hour begins in 20 minutes?

Are you watching or listening right now?
WOW!
SOCAFRICA commander Lt. Col. Gibson and his team were on their way to board a C-130 from Tripoli for Benghazi prior to an attack on a second U.S. compound “when [Col. Gibson] got a phone call from SOCAFRICA telling him that he didn’t have the authority to go yet.
Not on the Democrat side. None in the media. And very few on the Republican side.
What do YOU think? (see tag)
Why would they ask for air space use before the attack?
...because they didn’t want the ambassador rescued. Whatever he knew, he lost his life over it. Probably something he told the Turk that night over dinner.
Darn, that’s a VERY powerful statement. I’ve been sleeping with my Bible for the past week because I’ve has such horrible dreams about demons.
They haven’t been back.
Thanks. wow!
The ‘thud’ you are about to hear is the sound of someone taking a fall.....
I think US had a standing agreement with Libya for UNARMED drones only.
