The Huffington Post reports that Leeland Eisenberg, the person who allegedly held hostages at Hillary Clinton's Rochester, NY campaign office, may be the same Leeland Eisenberg who, in 2002, filed a lawsuit against Cardinal Law, then Archbishop of Boston, claiming that he had been sexually abused in the 1980's by one of the diocese's priests. On at least one occasion, Eisenberg awoke after drunkenly passing out in Father Buntel's car "to find himself being raped by Father Buntel in the driveway of St. Catherine's rectory," the suit said. At the time, Eisenberg, 21, was "in a state of desperation" over his "homelessness, the loss ... Read Full Story

Am I? Alas, it turns out to be a tale of desperation and one man threatening to blow himself up for health care. Mail & Guardian Online Article Read Full Story
