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
