-I agree with a lot of Libertarian views, ...however, I've always thought of Barr as a little odd.
-But his views are consistant , although I think wrong, on terrorists.
-He supports, as does most of teh Libertarian party, "The Ameerrican Freedom Agenda" Teh ten points of this agenda relate to personal freedoms and are focused on "terrorists or suspected terrorists:
Here is teh "Agenda":
The American Freedom Agenda (AFA) is an United States organization established in March 2007 by disaffected libertarian-oriented conservatives demanding that the Republican Party return to its traditional mistrust of concentrated government power. It describes itself as "a coalition established to restore checks and balances and civil liberties protections under assault by the executive branch." It was founded by Bruce Fein (chairman), Bob Barr, David Keene and Richard Viguerie.[1]
The ten points of the American Freedom Agenda pledge are:
No military commissions except on the battlefield.
No evidence extracted by torture or coercion.
No detaining citizens as unlawful enemy combatants.
Restoring habeas corpus for suspected alien enemy combatants.
Prohibiting warrantless spying by the National Security Agency in violation of law.
Renouncing presidential signing statements.
Ending secret government by invoking State Secrets Privilege.
Stopping extraordinary rendition by the U.S.
Stopping threats to prosecuting journalists under the Espionage Act of 1917.
Ending the listing of individuals or organizations as terrorists based on secret evidence.
