30 分钟Hey there, it's Shamita here.
The Pulitzer Prizes were announced this past week,
honoring so many examples of excellence in journalism from the past year,
many of which we have featured on our daily news podcast,
Apple News Today, or on this show, In Conversation.
Among the winners this year was The New Yorker for its investigative podcast, In the Dark,
which told the story of possible U.S. military war crimes during the Iraq War.
Last summer, I spoke with the host of In the Dark, Madeline Barron, about this investigation.
So we wanted to resurface that episode for you this week.
Congratulations to their team on winning a Pulitzer.
I hope you enjoy listening.
This is In Conversation from Apple News.

Today, how the shadowy military justice system buries possible war crimes.
On November 19th of 2005, during the U.S. war in Iraq,
a group of U.S. Marines killed 24 Iraqi men, women, and children in what would become known as the Haditha Massacre.
The Pentagon is investigating an alleged rampage by U.S. Marines in Iraq.
It all started when four Marine Humvees entered Haditha.
The Marines initially reported that more than a dozen civilians were killed in a roadside bombing and in the crossfire that followed.
But that was far from the truth.
