Michael Jacobson Joins Us As Contributing Expert
By Andrew Cochran
Michael Jacobson, senior fellow at The Washington Institute''s Stein Program on Terrorism, Intelligence, and Policy, joins us as a Contributing Expert today to post on sanctions and financial measures to combat national security threats and on other issues. From June 2005 to March 2007, he served as senior advisor in the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) at the U.S. Treasury Department, the office designing and implementing some of the most successful measures in the U.S. counter-terrorism policy arsenal today. Previously, he served as counsel on the 9-11 Commission and as counsel with the Congressional September 11 investigation. The Washington Institute issued his monograph, "The West at War: U.S. and European Counterterrorism Efforts, Post–September 11," in May 2006 after he joined the Treasury. Since leaving the Treasury Department to join (actually rejoin) WINEP, he has written three excellent pieces on terrorist financing issues, the latest being a review of the recent meeting of the Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF). You can see his complete bio here. We welcome Michael to CTB at this critical time, when additional financial sanctions against Iran and other states are under consideration.
