Dear shirttail-ga;
Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. Here
are a few quotes I was able to find relative to your question:
. . . . . .
Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky on Reporter Peter Arnett:
?Correspondent Peter Arnett should be "tried as a traitor" for remarks
he made in an interview with Iraqi state television, Sen. Jim Bunning,
R-Ky., said Tuesday.?
"I think he should be brought back and tried as a traitor to the
United States of America, for his aiding and abetting the Iraqi
government during a war," Bunning said in a conference call with
reporters. Later in a speech on the Senate floor, Bunning said: "Mr.
Arnett can apologize all he likes for being a 'useful idiot' for
Saddam and his barbaric regime. But that's not enough for me, and it's
certainly not enough for our soldiers and many Americans?I think Mr.
Arnett should be met at the border and arrested should he come back to
America," said Bunning.?

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on protestors who act as
human shields in Iraq:
?Graham, who has been vehement in his opposition to Americans who go
to Iraq and calls them "treasonous," said he believes the "full force
of the law should be applied to those American citizens who give aid
or comfort to our enemies."

?Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) sent a letter to Attorney General John
Ashcroft asserting that human shields should be prosecuted as traitors
if they impede U.S. military efforts. Graham argues that the shields
have damaged the morale of the troops, and possibly their safety.
People who do this, who want to act as a human shield for the Saddam
Hussein regime, I think need to be dealt with in the most severe
terms"

New Jersey State Senator James Cafiero on Congressmen who visited Iraq
in an effort to prevent potential US invasion:
?New Jersey State Senator James Cafiero upped the political rhetoric
to a whole new level when, on October 17, he introduced a resolution
urging Attorney General John Ashcroft to indict two Congresspeople who
went to Iraq on charges of treason.
The traitors, according to Cafiero, are Representative Jim McDermott,
Democrat of Washington, and Representative David Bonior, Democrat of
Michigan??
?But Cafiero was not content to leave the controversy alone. "These
two Congressmen should have known better than to use their position as
elected officials to fan the flames of an already volatile situation
by questioning the wisdom of U.S. foreign policy while standing on
Iraqi soil."

. . . . . .
Congressman George Miller of California, summarizing the sentiments of
the Republican Party against those who oppose the war in Iraq:
?Let every American understand the meaning of these words: It does not
matter who you are, if you have worn the uniform of your country, if
you have risked your life in combat; to those who use these words on
the floor of the House, it does not matter. Challenge the policies of
the Bush administration and House Republicans in Iraq, and you are
``giving aid comfort to the enemy.'' You are surrendering to
terrorism.
In other words, you are a traitor. That is what these Republican
Members would suggest about Members of Congress.?

Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary, referring to his opinion that
criticism of the policies of George W. Bush amounts to a treasonous
support of the enemy:
?They take heart in that, and that leads to more money going to these
activities or that leads to more recruits or that leads to more
encouragement or that leads to more staying power.?
THE WAR OVER THE WAR IN IRAQ

. . . . . .
President George W Bush on comments made by Senator Ted Kennedy (a
veiled, but nonetheless clear accusation that Kennedy?s statements
somehow aided the enemy):
?Senator Ted Kennedy has characterized Iraq as "George Bush's
Vietnam." The similarities are there. The U.S. is now facing a
nationalist resistance, much like in Vietnam. The death toll in Iraq,
while not yet near the levels of Vietnam, has been brutal. Untold tens
of thousands of Iraqis have died, along with hundreds of American
troops. When asked about the Vietnam analogy, Bush accused his
opponents of aiding the enemy by saying, "I think the analogy is
false. I also happen to think that analogy sends the wrong message to
our troops and sends the wrong message to the enemy."
