Her son died in Iraq? I never heard that before.

Story has it her son was home and he re-enlisted to stay with his
outfit and go to Iraq. She fought with him not to go back but instead to
go to Canada and he refused to go to Canada. He supposedly argued with
her saying he wanted to return to his outfit and go to Iraq and that's
what he did. This is what her husband (who has since left her) said. Her
son was later killed in action when he volunteered to go on a mission. I
strongly doubt her son would be proud of the actions she has undertaken
as a result of his death. However, I think his death is no longer a
driver 'cause an end to Iraqi conflict would end her newsworthiness,
thus end her time of fame. I think she likes the fame and doesn't mind
being used and financially supported by anti-Bush forces.

I don't think you can speak for what Casey would or would not say!
