Presidental War Crimes

It was suggested on another thread that there hasn't been a President who didn't commit war crimes. That was part of a derail that has since been shuttled off to hangar #AAH. I thought it an interesting topic, so I shall give it it's own thread.

According to wikipedia the definition of a war crime is this:

Quote:

A war crime is an act that constitutes a serious violation of the law of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility.[1] Examples of war crimes include intentionally killing civilians or prisoners, torture, destroying civilian property, taking hostages, perfidy, rape, using child soldiers, pillaging, declaring that no quarter will be given, and using weapons that cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering.[2]
I would think that it goes without saying that the above is probably not the agreed upon UN definition, but it offers a good starting point. So instead of the imminent nit-picking of the quoted passage, lets just talk about the content.

I would invite avid readers to explain what war crimes (specifically) all Presidents since say, 1950 are guilty of.
