james burmeister gets (slightly) early release

We've just learned that war resister James Burmeister was unexpectedly released from prison three weeks early. There is some hope that James's discharge may be upgraded from Bad Conduct to Other Than Honourable, and he may be able to keep his veteran's benefits. That part is still unknown, but he is home with his family in Eugene, Oregon. Good news indeed.
