Of course he won’t be charged or convicted. He’s an American president. Laws are for lesser mortals.
But it is a matter of public record that Obama had command authority over the drone assassination program, and also a matter of public record that this program made a mockery of international law and killed civilians.
I am perfectly comfortable labeling someone a war criminal in such circumstances.
To what people does it extend? To those whose position and privilege forever bars them from prosecution and justice. To what crimes? Crimes against humanity.
I’m also comfortable labeling Bush the younger a war criminal if that’s any help?
