Why would the US have behaved this way if this was really just a few bad apples?

Sorry, Sidd. During your whirlwind visits to Middle Eastern stripclubs, NotMe has expressly determined that this is woefully insufficient citation style. You'll need to produce the actual ICRC memos -- not reporting about them, but the memos themselves* -- as evidence of this point.
Come to think of it, the mention of the photos themselves may cause problems here too. If it's the ones that Not Me likes to giggle at on evening television, I think we can stipulate to their existence, but anything beyond that will require copies of the negatives.
Essentially, it's a very mind-numbing game of "your sources suck," which tends to bring the conversation -- any conversation -- to a screeching halt. Welcome back.
