This movie captures the propaganda about the shootings correctly. The DC Sniper shootings certainly looks like a psyops to me. At the time there was a vote in congress about giving the Bush regime the power to invade Iraq. The shootings took place all the days it took congress to vote. Then when the vote ended, the shootings ended. Perhaps the threat of a random sniper attack scared congress members into voting for the Bush regime's desire to invade Iraq? These were the days of blatant propaganda, lies, and psyops, including anthrax, color-coded daily terrorist warnings, and criticism of a sitting President and his regime was not tolerated. It was all jingoism for war.
