In 1992 Hitz, as CIA Inspector General, accused CIA Jamaica station chief
Janine Brookner (one of the first female station chiefs), of being a 'boozy provocateur', an accusation that prevented her planned promotion to
Prague station chief. His accusations were proven to be false when affidavits in contradiction of all accusations were presented in court filings. Within three hours of the filing of the affidavits, the CIA offered Bookner $480,000 in settlement. Bookner never regained her status within the CIA and resigned; it is not known if Hitz was penalized by the CIA for the false and misleading report, and he has never offered a public statement on his role in sabotaging her career. He was subsequently investigated by the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency over the affair. Hitz retired from the CIA in 1998 and took a position as Distinguished Practitioner in Residence in the
Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at
Princeton University. He is also a lecturer at the
University of Virginia School of Law,
Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, and Politics Department, specializing in intelligence and anti-terrorism law. ==Publications==
