Radsafe:

The NY Times Op-Ed column posted by John Jacobus was authored by a NY Times op-ed staffer named Bob Hebert. His bio can be found at:

It is quite surprising how many "journalists" are so uncritically and even blindly accepting antinuclear activists' arguments that because terrorism is a general threat we should shut down our operating nuclear plants. Hebert's column is so filled with fuzzy logic and claims [he writes even a "suicide" bomber could destroy Indian Point?] that some may wish to comment to a website for feedback on his writing hosted by the Times.
