He was moderator for a May 19, 2005, panel on "Reporting From Iraq," held in the NPC conference rooms. His own reporting from a 2005 trip to Iraq made headlines at the time, and he wrote about that six years later as Hill editor-at-large contributing to HuffPost. Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., had the 2005 reporting by Eisele memorialized in the Senate Congressional Record of April 27, 2005, (p. 4386).
On April 1, 2005, Eisele was on a panel speaking in the NPC Ballroom for a tribute to the "Life and Career of Hunter S. Thompson." When the panelists were asked by the moderator to each say what he was doing when he heard the news of Thompson's passing, Eisele recalled that "I was going to go out -- I usually go out every year, my brother-in-law has got a condo in Beaver Creek [Colorado], and I go out and spend a week skiing, and then I always go over to [Aspen] and spend the night with Hunter, and I was actually getting ready to do that the following week,

I had just talked to him about two weeks ago, and I was going to be out there, and he said, well, come by and see me, which we always did. That's where I was [when 'Gonzo Journalist' Thompson died Feb. 20, 2005]." In tweeting about the death, Eisele's son-in-law Patrick Seitz included a photo showing him in 2006 with Barack Obama, then a U.S. senator from Illinois, at…
