So no it isn't merely faux outrage as much as you all want to make it out to be and more along the lines of faux news. At no time has any of our officials publicly admitted to anything of this sort until Feinstein ran her mouth.

The military cooperation at the tune of over 5 billion dollars is official policy and publicly known. The authorization to use Pakistani airspace is official policy and publicly known. US military support for actions within Pakistan itself is official policy and publicly known.
The fact that predator strikes have killed people within Pakistan had been publicly reported there and here.
So yes, the idea that people who were not moved to strike against the US by the above will be moved to strike against the US because of Feinstein's words is faux outrage.
