#2 Yeesh! About 30/day dead, 90/day screwed up! Of those screwed up folks, have they been captured or identified or what is their status?

As for all those random shots, is it because they lack discipline, or are they firing them off when nobody is looking (so they don't have to engage coalition forces) and scurrying back to base and saying "I did my job, can I go home now?" Or are they just being a$$holes?

#4 gorb, given the stories about 'US snipers' that the Sadrists have been pushing, it's likley most of it is intentional firing so it can be blamed on IA/coalition troops.

#5 With the recent loss of a Marine !!! in Basra, it is very, very likely that sniper teams are being effectively employed in both locations. In addition, the Excalibur is being used to good effect in Sadr City.
