Sen. McCain Says CIA Has Not Been Open With Congress About Robert Levinson
Associated Press investigation claims Levinson was working for the CIA in Iran, U.S. government says he is a private citizen
WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain suggested on Sunday that the CIA has not been forthcoming with the Congress on details about an American who disappeared while on a secret intelligence mission to Iran.
Iran's foreign minister asserted that Robert Levinson is "not incarcerated by the government and I believe the government runs, pretty much, good control of the country."
An Associated Press investigation published this past week found that Levinson was working for the CIA — investigating the Iranian government. The U.S. long has publicly described Levinson as a private citizen who traveled to an Iranian island on private business.
