Not a political post, just a little joke at the expense of whomever wrote that letter.
Bourne was written strictly as an assassin. Bond was written with a license to kill, but that was part of a larger, traditional spy role of gathering information. Additionally, the Bourne stories are those of a man looking for redemption, at the end of the 3rd movie you find out that the man who...
