US faces new pressure over missing CIA contractor

This undated handout photo provided by the family of Robert Levinson after they received it in April 2011, shows retired-FBI agent Robert Levinson. In March 2007, Levinson flew to Kish Island, an Iranian resort awash with tourists, smuggler and organized crime figures. Days later after a meeting with an admitted killer, he vanished. For years the U.S. has publicly described him as a private citizen who was traveling on private business. However, an Associated Press investigation reveals that Levinson was working for the CIA. (AP Photo/Levinson Family)WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration faced intensified pressure Friday to find former CIA contractor Robert Levinson — both from lawmakers and the Levinson family — nearly seven years after he disappeared in Iran during what now has been revealed as an unofficial spy mission.

Packers quarterback Rodgers to miss another game

Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers looks on from the bench at Lambeau Field on November 10, 2013 in Green Bay, WisconsinGREEN BAY (United States) (AFP) - Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss the Packers' NFL clash with Dallas on Sunday, despite returning to practice this week. Rodgers, the 2011 NFL Most Valuable Player, hasn't played since he broke his collarbone on the opening drive of Green Bay's loss to Chicago on November 4. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said on Friday that even though Rodgers has made progress in his recovery, team medical staff thought it was too soon for him to return to competition. Matt Flynn will again start at quarterback for Green Bay, who are one half-game behind Detroit and Chicago for the NFC North division lead.
