“ A leaked 2007 report from the International Committee of the Red Cross says that meant the detainee's finger was fixed with a pulse oxymeter, a device that measures the oxygen saturation level in the blood during the procedure. Doctors like Allen say this would allow interrogators to push a detainee close to death – but help them from crossing the line. "It is measuring in real time the oxygen content in the blood second by second," Allen explained about the pulse oxymeter. "It basically allows them to push these prisoners more to the edge. With that, you can keep going. This is calibration of harm by health professionals." ”

“ Genau hinter mir befindet sich die Anlage der Cogema-Gruppe, die zum Betreiber Areva gehört. Dieses Rohr hier führt ins Meer. Es ist viereinhalb Kilometer lang. Über dieses Rohr leitet Cogema jedes Jahr so viel radioaktives Abwasser ins Meer, wie in 33 Millionen 100-Liter-Fässer passt. ”

Frankreichs Zwischenlösung für strahlenden Abfall

Wohin mit dem Atommüll? Diese Frage ist auch in Frankreich nicht geklärt. Nahe der deutschen Grenze wird nach einem Endlager geforscht. Gegenwärtig werden die radioaktiven Abfälle in La Hague wiederaufbereitet. Teile des Restmülls kommen nach Sibirien oder fließen verdünnt ins Meer.

“ One of the more interesting revelations in the documents is the use of a saline solution in waterboarding. Why? Because the CIA forced such massive quantities of water into the mouths and noses of detainees, prisoners inevitably swallowed huge amounts of liquid – enough to conceivably kill them from hyponatremia, a rare but deadly condition in which ingesting enormous quantities of water results in a dangerously low concentration of sodium in the blood. Generally a concern only for marathon runners , who on extremely rare occasions drink that much water, hyponatremia could set in during a prolonged waterboarding session. ”
