That doesn't specify what he's referring to. If he said "I'm sorry for throwing the grenade that killed him" that would be a little different.

He doesn't deserve any money. He should be grateful that American soldiers saved his life when he was lying in a pool of blood. Or the fact he is allowed to live free in Canada.

So he deserved to be tortured? Your making the settlement about something it's not.

He also stated ""I just want to be the next person on the road that you don't look twice at," he said. "I want to work as a nurse somewhere...to relieve people from pain. I have a lot of experience with pain."

Yeah an I'm sure that he would have a real easy time doing that after all the press his case received even before this.

If it's causing people pain by taking the money then don't. Give it to Speers family if he wants to turn the page.

He could be referring to the tax payers, but at the end of the day our elected officials committed these acts against him so we pay for it. Any time you sue someone the sued party is going to be upset, but people do it to get justice when they have been wronged because going back in time and making what happened not happen isn't an option.
Take the money out of the equation, this is about justice. He was wronged and he challenged that legally and won. If someone was a known gang member and they were wrongfully accused of killing someone you knew who was actually killed by someone else from the same gang, only to be exonerated after serving 20 years in prison, if that person sued the justice department and was awarded damages would you feel as though they should pay that money to the family of the person they didn't murder?
