Words: "quisling" or "paul revere"?

"...the New York Times article yesterday about a couple of Iraqi policemen who joined American forces on searches in Baghdad, but then turned quisling, running ahead to warn residents to hide their weapons and other incriminating evidence." -- from The Times.

Just to keep our language straight:

Aren't Iraqi police quislings when they go to work for the imperial power attempting to take over their country and don't they become paul reveres at the point where they decide to run ahead of the invader shouting, "The Yankees are coming, the Yankees are coming"?

Just asking.
