Mi wna'i ddyfynu beth ddywedodd Seneddwr Durbin, Illinois ar lawr y Senedd ddydd Mercher Mehefin 15ed:

When you read some of the graphic descriptions of what has occurred here -- I almost hesitate to put them in the record, and yet they have to be added to this debate. Let me read to you what one FBI agent saw. And I quote from his report:

"On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold....On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night. On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor."

Mae'n amlwg nad ydy'r Weinyddiaeth Bush yn poeni rhyw lawer am hawliau dynol neb, ond y rhai maent yn credu sy'n haeddu'r hawl hwnnw.

Fel dyweddodd y Seneddwr yn hwyrach yn ei araith, ni fuasai'r adroddiad hyn yn syndod os yn un o Auschwitz, neu'r Gulag. Ond o'r wlad sydd wedi gweithredu'r Wythfed Gwelliant i'w Cyfansoddiad, sef "..na gosber unrhywun mewn modd creulon neu anarferol" mae hyn yn hollol anghredadwy ac anhygoel. Dyma beth sy'n digwydd pan mae pobl mewn ofn.
