Hi, this is Jake Harper. I produce Wired Politics Lab. You may have seen that not long ago,

Now, this week, after four years of reporting, In The Dark is releasing its third season.

and it looks at a shocking crime that was committed during the war in Iraq,

the killings of 24 civilians by U.S. Marines.
