Frankly, I don't think anything can embarrass the US government.A US human rights group has alleged that at least 37 detainees died of torture in US detention centres at Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
The World Organisation for Human Rights USA on Thursday also said an upcoming report by the US government to the United Nations Committee Against Torture was likely to sidestep abuses committed during its "war on terror".[...]
It also alleged that torture is not limited to those captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, saying a number of US residents and US citizens had also been tortured.
[...]
"The key point we are trying to make is that the US government is trying to sidestep these issues in its official report to the UN Committee Against Torture in order to avoid further embarrassment."
