DescriptionBERLIN (Reuters) - The United States' treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and Iraq has done serious damage to the country's image abroad, Republican Senator John McCain was quoted as saying by a German paper on Saturday.

Prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers in Abu Ghraib jail led to heavy criticism of American policy in Iraq, while the U.S. detention of terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, without trial has been criticized as an infringement of human rights.

Moreover, both have been blamed for generating anti-American sentiment and undermining support domestically and abroad for Washington's war on terrorism.
