The image that came to define the abuse at Abu Ghraib, the prison in Iraq run by Americans.

A prisoner stands atop a box with his arms outstretched.

He is wearing a hood over his head and what looks like a poncho. His feet are uncovered and wires dangle from his fingertips.

He was reportedly told that he would be electrocuted if he fell off the box.
