But I'm curious to know if they showed the RAI-report also in the US.
It looked all very convincing what they had to say. And I don't consider the RAI as an anti war in Iraq medium.

What are you talking about? The US did indeed sign the Geneva Conventions. LOAC is an acronym for "Laws Of Armed Conflict." US a is party to all of them. I had to enforce adherence to LOAC for about six months. The US Rules of Engagement are generally stricter than the LOAC.
It's the ICC the US has scorned, and well the US should, as should every sovereign nation. No accountability. No balances, no checks. It's a kangaroo court, and always has been. A modrn day Star Chamber.
As to when and where Wily Pete may have been used, purposefully or otherwise, I am at the limit of my knowledge.
