It says something about the callous nature of the Beltway sniper attacks that they caused so much morbid media interest . In a country like the United States which is perceived to be very violent ( I'm not saying it's true just that it's perceived to be in Europe ) the three week killing spree made the headlines all across the world in October 2002 . It should be remembered that America was still recovering from 9/11 and any killing spree would automatically be thought of as an act of terrorism from an outside power hell bent on attacking the American way of life
This TVM tells of the hunt for the snipers who murdered 13 people over a period of three weeks but almost certainly tells it very badly . As you might expect it's told from the police point of view primarily Charles Moose played by Charles S Dutton but one can't help thinking it's a total whitewash as to the police's failing to catch the killers earlier . Perhaps even more disgraceful is the fact that this TVM was broadcast just before the murder trial took place . In other words you get a feeling of sickening cynicism it's broadcast to generate maximum advertising revenue for a TV network
