Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

The New Yorker Publishes Images from U.S. Marines’ 2005 Massacre of Iraqi Civilians

HeadlineSep 03, 2024

The New Yorker has published images of the U.S. Marines’ 2005 massacre of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha. The graphic images show many of the victims were shot in the head at close range. Release of the photos comes 19 years after the massacre, and only after producers of the investigative podcast “In the Dark” sued the Navy, the Marine Corps and U.S. Central Command to force them to turn over the photos and other records. Later in the broadcast, we’ll speak with Madeleine Baran, lead reporter for “In the Dark,” who traveled to Haditha to meet with family members of the victims of the killings.
