Has anyone seen any statements from Casey's siblings? Or his father? I am curious about this omission.

Here I found this:

Ah, I was just about to post the exact same link. Carly does the same "it's all about oil" schtick her mother does, but not much is given about the politics of brother Andy or sister Jane (or dad Pat, for that matter). They're not the grandstanders that Cindy is, obviously.
Excellent find, it's very informative about the whole family. The poem by the daughter I thought was especially telling. That and the sentance that reads "[Casey] was recruited to the military before Sept. 11th...." I like that use of the word "recruited" like that, it almost sounds just like "drafted" the way the author wrote it. Exceptionally good and subtle editorializing there.
