- David Aufhauser served as the General Counsel of the United States Treasury Department from 2001 to 2004. After 9/11, Aufhauser was a key player in disrupting and freezing further terrorist activity against the United States. He is best known for running the federal government's programs to go after terrorist financing, a major strategy in the war on terror. He ran the National Security Council Committee on Terrorist Financing; oversaw the legal departments of important agencies and divisions within the U.S. Treasury Department including International Banking, Domestic Banking, the U.S. Customs Service, IRS criminal and civil divisions, ATF, Financial Crimes and Money Laundering, and United States Secret Service; and supervised the federal government's multi-agency antiterrorism task force. In his numerous briefings before the House and Senate, he emphasized the importance of teaching tolerance and respect, often making clear distinctions between the vast majority of peaceful people in the Middle East and the practitioners of “counterfeit religion” who preyed on hopelessness to recruit terrorists. He began his career in 1977 at the law firm of Williams & Connolly. After completing his government service, he worked in investment banking and returned to Williams & Connolly in 2008. In 2010 and 2011, he was named as one of Washington's best attorneys. (en)

- The man who straps a bomb to his chest as he enters a marketplace is implacable. He is beyond redemption and cannot be deterred. It would be the height of irony and a promise of future tragedy if we permit the orthodoxy of how we have organized ourselves in the past and how we have collected and acted upon intelligence in the past to deter us from responding in the future. (en)
- As I told you, I did not know then whether my words or advocacy could change people's minds. I did, as I told you, believe that a dollar well deployed could enhance opportunity and thereby diminish antipathy to our values. But I now know that preventing a dollar from being misapplied can be of equal service and is, perhaps, the surest weapon we have to make the homeland secure and to let our kids go to schools that teach tolerance and respect for people of all faiths.
