"I want to ask a couple of questions about the February 17 Martyrs Brigade," said Rep. Blake Farenthold.
The Texas Republican was addressing the three State Department "whistleblowers" who testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about the attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The three witnesses were Mark Thompson, acting deputy assistant Secretary of State for counterterrorism; Greg Hicks, former deputy chief of mission in Libya; and Eric Nordstrom, former regional security officer in Libya.
When Farenthold introduced this crucial subject into the hearings, he also opened a window into Benghazi that shone light not only on disastrous Western support for "Arab Spring," but also on the core crisis in U.S. foreign policy.
