And now this...Eisenberg working with CNN?

Now Revealed: Eisenberg, Hostage Taker at Clinton Office, Called CNN During the Crisis

By E&P Staff

Published: November 30, 2007 6:40 PM ET

NEW YORK Leeland Eisenberg, who held several campaign workers hostage all afternoon at a Hillary Clinton storefront in Rochester, N.H., surrendered to police at 6:15 this evening. Cable news caught the arrest as it happened, with Lee Eisenberg, in a white shirt and tie, emerging, going to his knees, getting handcuffed and taken to a police car.

No one was hurt in the entire affair. Three or four hostages had been released over time. Sen. Clinton was in Virginia.

Minutes later, Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s Situation Room revealed that the man had called the CNN bureau in Washington during the crisis and talked to staffers — not Blitzer. The CNN anchor also said that Eisenberg had called another CNN office, which he did not identify, as well.

He said the cable news network decided not to reveal this before so it would not interfere with any negotiations.

If CNN recorded their phone call, expect them to copyright it as NBC did with the Virginia Tech shooter’s care package.

From the Foster's Daily Democrat in New Hampshire: April 5, 2007: "Leeland Eisenberg, 46, of Milton Road, 16, is charged with two counts of stalking."

and...

June 11, 2007: "With the help of a resident who called to report a suspected drunken driver on Washington Street, police charged Leeland Eisenberg, 46, of 182 Milton Road, Apartment 16, Rochester with driving while intoxicated."
