MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) -- Intelligence officials say a suspected U.S. missile strike has killed five people in northwestern Pakistan.

The two officials said Saturday that the midnight attack hit the Mohammad Khel area of North Waziristan. The U.S. is believed to have launched a slew of missile strikes against suspected Taliban and al-Qaida targets in the area since the start of the year.

Without so much as a search warrant???

No reading of their Miranda rights or even the offer of a lawyer???

Why, the way this story is told, you’d think these people were something more than just an average, everyday criminals. We should be outraged!!

I bet this kind of treatment makes every (alleged) terrorist want to drop everything and rush right over to America, where they can get their “fair” share of some good old American Constitutional rights!!!

The airports will soon be full of wretched refuse (Muslim extremists), yearning to breathe free (blow up infidels)!

I bet they had a “no-knock” warrant.
