Former Marine Brandon Raub released:

A former Marine who was forced into a psychiatric ward for anti-government Facebook postings has been freed from the hospital, according to a Circuit Court ruling handed down Thursday.

Judge Allan Sharrett dismissed the case against Brandon Raub, who had been detained by government officials and transferred to a VA Hospital in Salem, Va., earlier this week. The judge called the petition to continue Raub's forced detention “so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy.” Mr. Raub will be released immediately.

I've been remiss in not posting about this, but sometimes news hits when I'm just tapped out in the outrage department.

If you're inclined, send Judge Sharrett a note of thanks; here's the address:

Judge A W Sharrett
P. O. Box 631
337 South Main Street
Emporia, VA 23847-0631

And write your congress critter - someone's head needs to roll for this.
