Iraq’s government has been under pressure to expel the US since January 2020, when a US drone strike in Baghdad killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani and PMF leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. After the strike, the Iraqi parliament voted to expel US forces, but the US refused to leave.

The current season of the In the Dark podcast is examining a likely-illegal mass killing in Haditha, Iraq, by USA marines in 2005. I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in serious investigative journalism.
