But, more importantly, from the governmental perspective, the feds had EVERY RIGHT to go in, neutralize potential terrorists, and cart them off to Guantanamo Bay for a little vacation and interrogation. Plus, the SR-71 alone would get them all on the hook for high crimes and treason.
Sorry you don't like it when I apply the same laws to mutants instead of Al Queda, but the truth is the truth.

Yes I am looking at it from Logan's POV. Otherwise it is impossible to truly judge his actions.
Logan and everyone under his protection are part of unprotected and persecuted ethnic minority that just a year earlier had been on the verge of being tagged, sorted and carted off to concentration camps. Logan's own personally experience with the majority is extremely warped as they experimented heavily on him wiping out his memory of the past. He had good reason to use deadly force to protect himself and the others.
I agree the Gov had a right to go in. Under the circumstances they should have expected heavy resistance, which they did having contrived to remove the one mutant that would have stopped them cold.
Edit: Also have a sneaking suspecion the gov agency the Stryker was head of would be found wanting under the law
