'The continuing allegations of U.S. torture, use of secret prisons, ghost detainees, and indefinite and unconstitutional detention at Guantanamo calls into question the U.S. commitment to fight torture and adhere to international law. The U.S. now lacks the credibility needed to improve human rights abroad.'

US lack of credibility among NGO operatives and fifty cents will get you a cup of coffee. Among Amnesty Internationals many other straw men, laughable distortions and blame-America-first perspectives, saying the US lacks credibility to improve human rights in the wider world tops the league. You know what improves human rights abroad? B-52 bombers (Serbia). Apache cobras (Somalia). 155,000 brave marines and soldiers (Iraq). And you might also want to include 800 British para's (Sierra Leone). Endlessly repeating Al-Qaeda talking points about torture at Gitmo is harmful and stupid, and is getting real US soldiers killed. Every time these idiots spray their garbage across the world, Mullah Omar and the rest of those arseholes take heart and re-enter the fray knowing that their propaganda is winning them easy victories in American living rooms.
For every good thing Amnesty has done during its lifetime, fifty stupid things outweigh the good.
