	Telegraph \| News \| Greenpeace looks back in anguish at the loss of the Rainbow Warrior
		The French mines that sank Greenpeace's flagship, Rainbow Warrior, in Auckland harbour two decades ago claimed many victims: the vessel and its photographer, Fernando Pereira, killed with his camera straps tangled round his leg the most obvious among them.
		Such consorting with the enemy, as some see it, is a far cry from the Rainbow Warrior ethos and the ship's final voyage from New Zealand, evacuating 300 people from the island of Rongelap, contaminated by US nuclear test at Bikini Atoll in the 1950s.
		The Rainbow Warrior may be languishing on the sea bed and France's reputation "down under" may still be mud, not that this stopped President Jacques Chirac resuming nuclear testing in the South Pacific as soon as he took office in 1995.
