Asia Times Online is carrying an excellent article on Derrida's deconstruction of the war on terror here: http://atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/FJ14Aa01.html A particularly cogent formulation by author Pepe Escobar: "To "deconstruct" is to criticize acutely what's occult behind words, to take an idea (let's say "war on terror"), an institution or a given value and understand its mechanisms: it's something like a guerrilla attack against a dominant system of thought."
