From the story:
Appearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will be three career State Department officials: Gregory N. Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya at the time of the Benghazi terrorist attacks; Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for Operations in the agency’s Counterterrorism Bureau; and Eric Nordstrom, a diplomatic security officer who was the regional security officer in Libya, the top security officer in the country in the months leading up to the attacks.

Full story here.

For what it's worth having seen a fair portion of the email trail back & forth from much-maligned Eric Nordstrom to the mother ship this doesn't bode well for the "what does it matter?" crowd. The deputies of mission and CT Opns don't either.

Then again, Congress did such a fine job effecting change with Fast & Furious. Anyone contemplated to be tossed under the bus has probably already left or is packing.
