David, Slick, and Hoffman kidnapped and tortured Bourne using David's ability. When Bourne got free, he turned David into a rat and kept him like that. Originally he was going to do a week, but I talked him down to a few days. I didn't realize how fucked up it was until after the fact, when David told me about his history and what that rat meant to him, but by then it was too late.
The kid needs to get reassigned, but that's the Admiral's choice, guy. Punishing Bourne now will only make David lose more respect for him and make the kid think he was right all along-- I haven't even told him how fucked up I think what Bourne did is, because it won't do him any good.
What Bourne said about torturing him.. Bourne never did anything to him. He kept the kid up on food and water and everything. [A beat.] The warden doesn't think like you. That doesn't make him bad at his job. He just doesn't think the same. To him, the punishment fit the crime. It was fucked up, but it wasn't torture.
If you can't get them reassigned, then ask Tim not to do anything, guy. David's barely fuckin' listening to anyone right now-- and I'm worried I might be the only one, outside of Hoffman, he actually really trusts and respects right now. If Tim's added to that list? It's good. But what Tim did here.. that's fucked up too. He acted without knowing what's going on or how David thinks.
I'm not tryin' to justify Bourne here. You can fuckin' think what you want about the guy. But if you'ah really tryin' to help David? Tell Tim he fucked up.
