"On the Line" is a continuing series on the broadcasts and platforms of NBC News. Correspondent Mike Taibbi outlined the series' goals in a blog post: "Iraq seems as confused as it is unmistakably violent, its explosive alliances and enmities and probable outcomes open to such divergent interpretations. The soldiers featured in our reports will be entering the fog of that war with their own individual motivations and sense of mission — and what they hear, learn, think, believe and disbelieve, who they meet, whom they fight and fear — we’ll learn from their voices."
