Bourne’s defence lawyer was called David Dedman – a clearly made-up name designed to belittle the dark forces that stalk his every move. He is clearly hiding behind a deep cover to protect himself from the murderous vigilante forces of Treadstone. Which is exactly what Jason Bourne would want you to think.
