An Ex-Libertarian  —  Glenn Reynolds comes out of the closet and says he's no longer a libertarian.  After four years of his defending or ignoring every abuse of government power under the Bushies, this is hardly a surprise.  But the caricature of many freedom-lovers offered by Stephen Green is silly.
