Bob Barr, Civil Libertarian

The right wing of the ACLU
Interviewed by Jesse Walker
reason.com

"...But in his eight years in Congress (he failed to win re-election in 2002), Barr was one of Washington�s loudest critics of the federal government�s abuses of power, taking the lead in investigating the raid on Waco and in opposing Bill Clinton�s efforts to undermine due process in terrorism cases. Since leaving Congress, Barr has taken an advisory post with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and started writing a column for Atlanta�s alternative weekly Creative Loafing -- neither ordinarily a haven for Republicans. While many on the right have fallen behind the Bush administration even as it betrays their purported principles, Barr represents another set of conservatives' growing discomfort with the administration�s erosion of individual liberty."
