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.

“david mcfarland tried to get locals in benghazi to respond to the attack”
Yes, yes, YES! I have been trying to get people to see that this much more than the deaths of the four whose corpses Hillary Clinton stood over and lied about. The whole station crew was condemned to death. It was merely good fortune that 32 of them survived because a few brave men defied orders and rode to the rescue - at the cost of their lives.
Obama and Clinton wanted them dead...it would have been easier to deal with the dead....
Yes, again. Obama and Clinton needed them dead. Dead men tell no tales.
I started off believing Benghazi was just about the election but more and more I'm coming to the conclusion that it is a toxic stew of three things: 1. Stevens was there, knowingly, arranging weapons transfers to al Qaeda in Syria, 2. Jarrett, Brennan, Rice and Obama had set up Stevens, unbeknownst to him, to be kidnapped so he could be exchanged for the blind sheik, and 3. electoral politics - the need for al qaeda to be defunct, the desire to have Obama be seen as 'rescuing' Stevens. Once it started to go sideways due to Woods and Doherty, the imperitive to cover up became all consuming.
Their usual 3 viewers
Sad that the only place these people could look to for help seemed to a rag tag group of non responsive Libyans.
Why??
CNN cut into testimony, where Hicks is talking about calling for help. Blitzer says that THIS is where they will talk about it being an explosive political situation and goes to a guest speaker. CNN covering up already. Politizing Hicks testimony about calling for help.
CNN has AMAMPOUR talkin OVER him!
Scott Wickland (sp?)-— Stevens agent in charge was with Stevens.
Annex chief said Benghazi Annex was mobilizing a response team to go to consulate
Called State at 10pm
Called sr officials of govt of Libya
Called chief of staff to pres, Prime minister MFA
Talked with annex chief to charter plane in Tripoli for a response team
Has Hicks submitted a precise timeline? I SO hope he has!!!
Timeline is critical!
What am I wrong about? That the Ohio story is a sideshow?
Right.
Just notes for accuracy.
God bless him.
Turn on CSPAN3!
CNN is despicable. They’re censoring the news, not even bothering to spin it.
For crying out loud.
CNN is also afraid of the truth.
I think your analysis is correct.
And that’s not good.
Yes.
Yep..CNN is in damage control Big time!
Cry and I will cry with you.
BUMP!!
60 attackers in the compound.
“Heroism of individuals going into a petroleum-based fire (emits cyanide gas). One breath can kill.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have never been given a cause of death for Stevens
Stream CSPAM3.
