Ok, so...

Liberate
Means, to free

1. to set free, as from imprisonment or bondage.
2. to free (a nation or area) from control by a foreign or oppressive government.
3. to free (a group or individual) from social or economic constraints or discrimination, esp. arising from traditional role expectations or bias.

'De'liberate
Literally means, to remove freedom, in the process of thought, to elliminate possibilities and collapse on one.

1. carefully weighed or considered; studied; intentional: a deliberate lie.
2. characterized by deliberation; careful or slow in deciding: a deliberate decision.
3. leisurely and steady in movement or action; slow and even; unhurried: a deliberate step.
–verb (used with object) 4. to weigh in the mind; consider: to deliberate a question.
–verb (used without object) 5. to think carefully or attentively; reflect: She deliberated for a long time before giving her decision.
6. to consult or confer formally: The jury deliberated for three hours.

Conclusion
A note before I move on, "liberately" is not a word. So a person does not act liberately, they act deliberately, without freedom. ;)
