Travis Bishop<\/a>, the IVAW member who was sentenced to a year in prison after going AWOL before he signed his conscientious objector paperwork last year, has been released after serving nine months. Of course, he credits the campaign by Amnesty International, Courage to Resist and countless other misinformed malcontents for his early release at TruthOut.<\/a> <\/p>\n

In February, Bishop was granted a three-month reduction in his sentence by General Cone as a result of a successful clemency application.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Truthout from prison, Bishop wrote this of his being granted clemency:<\/p>\n

“Three months clemency. Wow. I am truly astonished. Great for me? Sure. Great for future resisters? Even more so. I cannot believe that I told the Army “No,” refused to deploy, pleaded not guilty, and then indicted the entire system and blamed my command in court, and still merited clemency.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s funny that he thinks he got clemency. When Robin Long got his 15 months sentence reduced to twelve months, James Branum explained to us<\/a>;<\/p>\n

In the military system, you get 5 days of good-time credit for every 30 days served in jail, which is why Robin got out in 12 months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, really, Bishop didn’t get any real clemency reduction in his sentence, he just just got time off for good behavior. And everyone around him who he thinks is his friend that helped him get this nonexistent clemency is lying to him and taking credit for Bishop’s own good behavior while incarcerated.<\/p>\n

This guy has been played like a cheap fiddle by the anti-war movement and apparently he’s going to continue getting screwed – any sympathy I might have had for him and his situation has long ago dissipated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
