Ah well. No matter how you look at it, they were the good guys. Doing what had to be done to stop alien invasion. "Canon" Jameson being idealistic fool was a loose end that had to be removed - can't have a heroic figure telling things to public when it was not cunclusive what the outcome of mycoid attack would be. It would put a lot of people working for INARA and organization itself at risk.

Sure, there was a lot of human deaths at their hands. Loose ends, experiments, etc. But that's just how it works in real world as opposed to fairy tales. Facing alien race that is openly hostile and superior to you, there's no telling how far the conflict may escalate and how fast things can go south for your species as a whole. So measures had to be taken, and taken they were. They sure as hell saved a lot more lives than they sacrificed by making thargoids retreat. Prolonged conflict would see untold amount of victims, both military and civilian.

It is easy for public to judge INRA's actions after all these years, but organization did exactly what it was meant to do, and results were better than anyone could have expected.
