the US already had domestic law that made torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment or punishment illegal.

The required report also stated that, regardless of the status of "non self-executing," the US, because of it's domestic laws against torture, is obligated to fulfill all the provisions of the treaty, including Articles 1-16.
