Hitz, the CIA's inspector general blames the agency for not sharing important information about the killing of American innkeeper Michael DeVine in June 1990 and the March 1992 disappearance of Efrain Bamaca Velasquez, the husband of American lawyer Jennifer Harbury, with U.S. administration officials and Congress.
