Fed Policy & Mortgage Rates

I know that the Fed is attempting to keep borrowing rates low through its QE2 policy, which I believe is supposed to last through at least early Spring. However, it seems their strategy is facing increasing headwind the past few weeks, with rates rising pretty markedly.
For those more schooled in bonds and Fed policy than I, why are rates rising despite the Fed's efforts, and what are your thoughts on where mortgage rates are headed over the next 3-6 months?

they are headed up. Rates have moved a solid point in the last month. par rate is 4.75-4.875% this morning. Rates might come back down to the 4.375% range late Jan early Feb. but i wouldnt count on it. The big boys are driving up the bond rate that way when the govt dumps all this money in the market they can make a much larger profit.
