"When you talk about killing somebody, that's conspiracy to commit murder," he told Crowley. "At the point you talk about it you're guilty of a crime." Dietl said it made no difference whether or not the plot was carried out, telling Crowley, "By just talking about it, it's the crime of conspiracy." That's an absolutely incorrect statement of the law. You have to have an agreement among the conspirators and an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. "Just talking about it" is not enough.

"When you talk about killing somebody, that's conspiracy to commit murder," he told Crowley. "At the point you talk about it you're guilty of a crime." I disagree with him and, by extension, agree with OMD. Under most state law, there has to be a so-called "overt act" on the part of one or more of the co-conspirators to further the purpose of the conspiracy. Regardless, this incident should cause any Kerry supporters clear heartburn. Combine it with his failure to report alleged war crimes to superiors and his serious flip-flopping and you have someone who has not demonstrated the proper character to be President, IMHO.
