Sniper fire getting worse in Iraq

This from Juan Cole:

The US military in Iraq says that the troops are increasingly targetted by sniper fire from trained Sunni Arab guerrillas. Funny thing, when CNN reported this story, using videotape produced by the guerrillas, Lynn Cheney accused them of lack of patriotism. But here we have the US officer corps admitting the story is entirely true and quite important.

What they aren't saying is the snipers probably were armed and trained by the US. We have a habit of doing such things.
