Frederick Hitz is a former Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Career

He worked in the CIA as Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency. He held this post for an unusually long time, retiring in 1998.

Hitz investigated Gary Webb's claims of the CIA drug trafficking, and found they were justified.[1]

In 1995, when he was asked, whether, after five years of looking into darkness, he had learned a moral lesson? He replied "[Yes], absolute secrecy corrupts absolutely." [2]
