An independant is anyone who doesn't belong to one of the parties. They can be anywhere on the political spectrum, from hard right to hard left.
A libertarian is someone who is socially liberal and economically conservative. They don't believe the government should be making any sort of "morality" laws, so they would be anti- flag burning ammendment, for instance. However, they also don't believe the government should meddle in business much, so they would be likely to be anti- environmental controls, too. They believe in the power of the free market.

An independent is just someone who chooses not to affiliate themselves with a specific political party.
A libertarian is often thought of as a particular kind of independent because they don't side with either of the major political parties, but in actuality there is a libertarian party.
Independents can have any sort of political beliefs you can think of, they're all across the spectrum. Libertarians have a specific set of political beliefs, bascially that the less government the better.

An independent allegedly votes for the best person for the job. A libertarian doesn't believe the job should exist at all.
The Libertarian is correct.
