Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

            This is today, which should be an interesting discussion in light of recent events in Syria.

            Thanks to @justsecurity.org and the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict for including this piece in their excellent symposium, "Thinking Beyond Risks: Tech and Atrocity Prevention." When attempting to leverage tech for accountability, the focus is too often on new and shiny tools.
