In this photo, reviewed by the U.S. Military, a guard stands near the shadow of a detainee at Guantanamo's Camp 5 detention center, at the U.S. Naval Base, in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, January 21, 2009. U.S. President Barack Obama may set a one-year deadline to close the controversial U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to an unsigned draft executive order that may bolster the U.S. image abroad. Obama pledged during his election campaign to shutter the prison camp, which became a blot on the United States' human rights record and a symbol of detainee abuse and detention without charge under the Bush administration.
