"War Criminal, Child
Killer Cornel West"

Appearing on the radio Thursday with host Tavis Smiley,
professor Cornel West argued that President Barack Obama is,
like Presidents George W. Bush and Richard Nixon before him, a
³war criminal² uniquely responsible for the deaths of
³over 200 children.²
West¹s words were in response to a question about the
administration¹s seeming preference for killing terrorism
suspects from the air rather than risking American lives to take
them prisoner and hold them for an indefinite amount of time in
military custody. A legal whitepaper obtained by NBC News
recently exposed the Obama administration¹s once-secret
justification for the program, which authorizes a deadly
airstrike if intelligence officials believe it may take out any
³senior operational leaders² of al Qaeda or
³associated forces,² even if that includes an American
citizen.
³I think, my dear brother, the chickens are coming home to
roost,² West told Smiley. ³We¹ve been talking
about this for a good while, the immorality of drones, dropping
bombs on innocent people. It¹s been over 200 children so
far. These are war crimes.²
