It is the standard "if ya ain't with us, yer agin us" blovium that forms the basic patter of the nuclear set. Any criticism is intolerable and not allowed. No matter how firmly grounded in the data the criticisms might be, they are viciously and relentlessly attacked in the same type of smear campaign that is waged against climate scientists. It is a well known, tried-and-true scripted propaganda response that is unrelated to the merits of the issues at hand.

Jazcko wasn't a bad manager or a bad leader or a bad commissioner; dealing with those issues are a standard part of working in any bureaucracy. No, his only 'failing' was that he was critical of nuclear power - and that is something the industry which owns the Nuclear Regulatory Commission cannot abide.
