Little is known about the the current hostage situation unfolding at the Silver Springs, Maryland offices of the Discovery Channel. And while the story is still very fluid, some interesting clues have been revealed. First, a lengthy screed has been posted on a website called Save The Planet Protest that opens with “The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY.” A Whois search of the registrant of that domain is listed as James Lee. Update: Alleged Discovery Channel HQ gunman ID’d as James Jay Lee; has history of protesting outside building. (see more here)

James Lee has a MySpace page .  He says that he's 5'11" tall and from Hawaii.  He described himself as an atheist who did not want children in his profile.
His last post at 10:06 AM Jan 22, 2008 said, "Lee says: It's time for REVOLUTION!!!" (Source)

Yes, "Lee has also conducted protests outside of the Discovery Channel headquarters building in Silver Spring, Md. and was reportedly arrested in February 2008 in connection with a week-long protest he had planned for February 15-23, 2008".
