Live Thread: Benghazi Whistleblowers Hearing 11:30 A.M. EDT 5/08/13
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ^ | Wednesday, May 8, 2013

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.

*** NOTE: Press seating will be reserved, but limited. Please arrive early (hearing room will open to press at 10:30 AM) to guarantee a seat. An overflow area will be available. ***

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. (Ps. 5:5)

It is no sin to hate sin which God hates. "Love the sinner, hate the sin" is instruction for us as humans, for it is, after all, only His good grace that keeps us from being like them. And it is sobering that, but for His beneficent favor, we too can fall. We are no better than them. We only enjoy Divine favor, and that through no merit of our own.

He is a prime example of why our country is in such miserable shape. The very idea that such an idiot could be elected to Congress boggles my mind (and I realize he is not the only one).

I agree. As an aside, I am amazed at the stupidity of some of those elected and their constituents that elect them.

THAT is exactly what I have trouble with. However, a “personal” enemy at work THRUST her pentagram in may face, in which she hides under her blouse.

She just HAD to do it to me. Told her to get that sh!t OUT OF MY FACE NOW!....and was NOT nice about it.

Jesus didn’t flip tables in temples because he was happy and evil is what we are commanded to fight. I think God is good with the anger we feel towards this human garbage.. If he wasn’t we’d have been commanded to accept it.

Makes me weep for my kids, how such a low life moron can be the head of anything, is a sin.
