Clandestino:
You asked, what do you call a person who refuses to share critical flight safety information?
Another answer, 'allegedly', could easily be our friends with the US FAA Aircraft Certification Branch, if that is the correct title. They 'allegedly' have access to many types of aircraft incident reports from other countries, to which US citizens have very limited access.
Some aircraft accident websites have no information listed as the primary cause of the accident/incident.
This might be a bit unrelated, but the US Department of Transportation, according to an article years ago in "Conde Naste Traveler" magazine, was under major pressure from the State Department when deciding whether a given foreign airline would be allowed to operate into a US airport.
