Eyewitnesses To Benghazi Attack To Testify Before House Panel -- Washington Times

Witnesses to the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, will testify next week at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, Rep. Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, said.

While Mr. Gowdy did not provide the names of the hearing witnesses, he told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren that they will include people who saw the seven-hour attack on the diplomatic post.

“I am not at liberty to disclose the identity of the witnesses, but I will just say … it is going to be a very informational and instructive hearing,” he said Tuesday night. “I would encourage you to follow it. Benghazi is warming up. It is not going away despite the efforts of this administration.”

“You know that hearsay evidence is not so interesting. Firsthand accounts by eyewitnesses are much more compelling,” he continued.

My Comment: Republican politicians are telling the media that the testimony will be explosive. As to what is my take .... my gut is telling me that nothing new will be learned from these hearings. But these hearings will accomplish one thing .... providing a human face and a human story to what happened in Benghazi almost eight months ago.
