The former Marine who was forcibly placed in a psychiatric ward by government officials who didn't like his Facebook postings will sue for unlawful arrest, according to his attorneys.

"We are definitely going to move forward with a lawsuit," said Nisha Whitehead, assistant to the president at the Rutherford Institute, the nonprofit civil rights firm defending Brandon Raub.
