Military guards move a detainee at the detention center at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.
Five years ago, people around the world were sickened by photographs that surfaced showing U.S. troops abusing Iraqi inmates at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad.

Congress passed the Detainee Treatment Act to try to prevent future atrocities.
