From In the Dark: What Happened That Day in Haditha?

Über diese Folge

<p>This program is drawn from a new season of the award-winning investigative podcast <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/tnyitds3">In the Dark</a>. On a November day in 2005, in the city of Haditha, Iraq, something terrible happened. “Depending on whose story you believed, the killings were a war crime, a murder,” the lead reporter Madeleine Baran says. “Or they were a legitimate combat action and the victims were collateral damage. Or the killings were a tragic mistake, unintentional—sad, but not criminal. Basically, the only thing that everyone could agree on was that twenty-four people had died, and it was marines who’d killed them.” Season 3 of In the Dark looks at what happened that day in Haditha, and why no one was held accountable for the killings. Baran and her team travelled to twenty-one states and three continents over the course of four years to report on a story that the world had largely forgotten. Episode 1 airs this week on The New Yorker Radio Hour, and you can listen to the rest of the series <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/tnyitds3">wherever you get your podcasts</a>.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
