It was reported in 1998 that Hitz and the CIA knew that Frank Castro, an anticommunist veteran of the CIA's Cuba operations, was implicated in terrorism and drug trafficking by the time he joined the contras in the mid-1980s.Still, the CIA withheld information about Frank Castro from Congress in 1986, a decision that undercut Sen. John Kerry's investigation into the contra-drug secrets -- especially into links between the contras and the Medellin cartel.According to Hitz's report, the CIA protected the contra-cocaine connections, by withholding key information from Congress and by releasing false assurances that the contra-drug allegations were bogus.[1]On March 16, 1998, Hitz testified to the House Committee on Intelligence that there was no conspiracy between the United States Central Intelligence Agency and the Contras to traffic illicit substances into the United States. He did, however, testify that there was no effort to expeditiously sever contact with contacts who were known drug traffickers.
The above text was removed from the article. It is off topic, mostly unsourced and potentially libelous. If researched and properly sourced it could be summarized into one or two sentences and put back in the article.-- — Kbob • Talk • 21:52, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
