When 1.6 million is not a lot of money

Ok. You lose your ca. $70,000/year job and its benefits, get thrown in jail and held incommunicado in violation of the Sixth Amendment guarantee to counsel and a speedy trial, have the New York Times smirkingly tell the nation how you're going to be judicially executed as an enemy of the American people, and end up unemployable. All because of a security lapse so minor that almost every scientist who works in a federal facility is guilty of it. And worst of all, everyone knows that you're innocent... After seven years of duking it out, ransoming your home and your first born child to get legal help, you reach a settlement. How much should it be?

2. Yes.

But has Richardson ever apologized to Lee? Not that I'm aware of.
