Nige,
Unfortunately I think these two cases will just become argueing points in what I see as a polarisation of the American population - those who support Bush entirely and those who can't stand him. Those who support Bush will label these men traitors, those who don't will label them as martyrs to the cause.
Standing by for incoming but it seems that there is a real case of 'if you're not for Bush you're against the USA' feeling among a significant proportion of the population. Countered by a significant proportion who see everything Bush stands for as disastrous for the USA and hence the World.
What impressed me on a recent working visit was that the majority of the population, whether for or against Bush, supported the US Mil in their efforts, if only the same was true over here!
