Brett, yours is a legitimate question, but remember that no system is foolproof. I was imagining the difficulty of finding and programming a Treadstone killer. As Ward Abbott said, these guys were 'wound so tight' that psychic failure of one form or another was a substantial risk. Remember all the physical and psychiatric symptoms that followed their conditioning. It's like a high performance engine running at peak output; even though its finely machined and tooled, the stress of peak performance can cause failure.
On a humorous note, when Bourne was grilling Abbott about his Treadstone activities I experienced some serious deja vu. Brian Cox played a remarkably similar scene in X-Men 2 where he confronted his other amnesiac, super-assassin creation Wolverine ("You're a born killer, always was, always will be). Brian's handiwork has a tendency to turn on him.
