"[Sanford] has a sound legal mind regarding international anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism matters.  She has a keen understanding of the practical aspects of law enforcement in the United States and various South American nations. Some of those countries have been mentioned publicly as potential weak links in the ongoing struggle against money laundering by organize crime and terrorists."
