Neo-con libertarian? What evidence do you have to support the claim that Cato is neo-con?

Wikipedia cites Cato as being critical of neo-con foreign policy and the Iraq War.

Do you know what neo-con means? Serious question

I'm not terribly surprised that someone would think "neo-con" and "libertarian" were near synonyms. A lot of people seem to have it in their head that libertarians are just hardcore conservatives (and for some reason think neo-con just means an extremely conservative person).
