So, if I recreated specific circumstances - which would be traumatic for you, or whatever other inmate I was assigned - and kept it up as a source of punishment, you seriously don't think it's torture? You care about David. Giving him food and water doesn't change the fact that what he did was psychologically damaging and traumatic, and considering David still doesn't respect him or trust him or see him as an ally, and still probably wants to kill him? I don't think whatever he was trying to accomplish actually worked.
Considering how messed up our "system" is, I seriously doubt Bourne's going to be punished for what happened - which, for the record, I still think he should be - and if Tim acted without talking to David first, no, I don't think he did the best thing. But I don't think he fucked up. I know Tim. If he didn't tell David, he'll tell him now, and deal with whatever fallout he gets from it, and if David does actually trust and respect him, hopefully he'll listen.
How do you know he doesn't know how David thinks? You said him and Bourne should be reassigned. Do you seriously think bringing this up and letting people know it happened, and that there's potential for it to happen again, is a bad thing?
He said he did it because he was angry. Being angry isn't an excuse for damaging someone you're supposed to be responsible for. We're supposed to be setting an example and trying to help the people we've been assigned to. Acting out of anger and hurting someone who hurt you is just telling David that behavior's acceptable, and an abuse of the power Bourne has over him.
