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.

Ouch... “It always matters whether you can trust your government.”
I’m with you on that. He is excellent.
Gowdy: We’re going to find out what happened, and I don’t care who’s career is hurt
Jeez, how many does that freaky woman have? A harem of lesbos at her disposal or what?
Sorry, I realize that is crass, but she just angers me to no end.
He's got the silver cross, the garlic, is holding the stake in one hand and the hammer in the other. He's trying to drive it home but I think more hearings will be necessary.
Thompson, Hicks and Nordstrom....my new American Heroes.
Praying for Congressman Gowdy. Thank you for not letting this go away. Please keep your word.
we would be better off with him as Speaker of House than crybaby boehner
I don’t guess we can get him as a Senator since Graham is going to run.
They are standup men. Duty, honor, country first, personal hide way down the list.
I’s settle for one good amp.
Graham is useless.
Gowdy for Speaker all the way. He is crafty, legally brilliant, and a silver tongue to boot.
Oh, yeah. That's gonna leave a mark! They better put some ice on it. LOL!
Now Fox has gone back to the missing women who were found.
Sssh.
Mr. Lankford - are you aware if anyone has been held accountable for the murders of 4 Americans?
Great question. Sad answer.
1998 and now, still as sneaky as ever. Inept, criminal, filthy rats.
