INVESTIGATING BENGHAZI: House Panel to Hold Hearing on Libya

A House committee is planning to hold a hearing next week on the Libya consulate attack, following up on an issue that Republicans had emphasized before the presidential election in questioning President Obama's foreign policy record.

Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the consulate in Benghazi. A local Libyan extremist group is suspected of carrying out the attack, but the Obama administration has been criticized for its confusing explanation for the strike and for security warnings that apparently weren't heeded.

The House Intelligence Committee will hold its hearing on the attack on Nov. 15, Fox News has learned. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director David Petraeus and Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, are expected to testify.

Bob Woodward (Washington Post Associate Editor,) who along with Carl Bernstein broke the Watergate story, is all over this.

"Hold hearings", how quaint.

The "hearings" are over, Obama and Hillary are criminals, Holder is no exception.

Can I get s "DUH"?

There are some pretty compelling arguments from mutiple source coming together, indicating that rescuers were held back so Stevens would be killed. These folks are claiming that Stevens was a CIA front man for the Administration's Libian version of fast and furious. It seems they were dealing arms to Syrian rebels, including the Muslim Brotherhood. If that came out weeks before the election, Obama would have gone down in flames. Instead, they claim, the Administration cleaned up possible leaks with 4 deaths.
