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.

Stop disrupting this thread. Start your own thread on the Cleveland story and battle it out over there.
Thank God for Fox News Holding Strong. CNN going to commercial is making many turn to Fox News!!!
Thanks....thought i caught that.
Africom or joint chiefs? That was not clear...only that that someone lied about what assets were available.
Here comes the Clinton info!
Outstanding.
Clinton called Hicks..did she ever mention this when she testified..she is directly tying her to it..
ooops...Hillary on phone with them at 2am Lybia time.
No thanks needed. We are ALL in this together =). Sometimes the truth is very difficult to hear...but must be told.
Hicks seems to want to cry with us, but is holding himself together.
Group hug and prayers up for these brave men!
It is extremely impressive that you don’t hear
umms, and uhhhs, etc....because it natural for most speakers
Thank you! The news has been going ape-sh*t over those three girls every hour on the hour. I’m glad they’re okay, but we have a major scandal exposing Hillary and Obama unfolding right now.
Pretty sad.
Drop the Cleveland comments and stay on topic.
Hicks on the phone with Clinton during the event!!!!!
