New libertarian group, The Libertarian Institute. I have not had time to explore the site, but it has good antiwar credentials.  Says Scott Horton:

"Our goal is to unite the libertarian movement and more importantly to realign American politics around our agenda — prioritizing opposition to the worst of state power: the permanent war state, the prison and police states, and the corporate welfare, corrupt contracts, and bank bailouts that rig the economy for the wealthy and politically connected.

"The Libertarian Institute’s mission is to stress these issues and work with other groups from across the political spectrum against these greatest of abuses."
