	Undermining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Undermining was a technique employed during the Middle Ages to bring down castles and other fortifications.
		Once the excavation was complete, the wall or tower being undermined would be caused to collapse by filling the excavation with combustible material that, when lit, would burn away the props leaving the structure above unsupported and thus liable to collapse.
		Undermining (also known as Removal of the Guard) is a chess tactic in which a defensive piece is captured, leaving one of the opponent's pieces undefended or underdefended.

	UNDERMINING INDIA
		On the morning of January 23, Graham Stewart Staines and his two sons aged nine and six, Australian nationals who had made India their home, fell victim to the cycle of violence that began with the assumption of power by the Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre last year.
		It also seems to suggest a mood of insecurity within Congress(I) ranks, that the party's chances of regaining power may be compromised by the foreign origins of its leader.
		This sense of hesitancy may seem grossly misplaced as the BJP presides over an unparalleled upsurge in the politics of hate, undermining social solidarities and plunging the nation towards anarchy and chaos.

	Inside Higher Ed :: Who's Undermining Free Speech on Campus Now? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		While it is well and good to defend the concept of free speech, I think it is unpardonable to refer to the text of statutes or court opinion without having read them.
		In their article “Who’s Undermining Free Speech on Campus Now,” Professors Beito, Johnson, and Luker rightly acknowledge the harmful effects of speech codes on free expression and intellectual debate on college campuses.
		This inconsistency — the practice of university censorship and the punishment of miscreants — undermines arguments in favour of academic freedom.

		This Kerry spokesman, undermining a key ally on the eve of a critical election, is no rogue political operative.
		She is, of course, merely echoing her brother, who, at a time when American allies have shown great political courage in facing down both terrorists and domestic opposition for their assistance to the United States in Iraq, calls these allies the ``coalition of the coerced and the bribed.''
		Kerry abuses America's closest friends while courting those, like Germany and France, that have deliberately undermined America before, during and after the war.

		So unsavory are the CEO villains, so unfathomable is their greed and monstrously callous is their disregard for the thousands of employees who lost jobs and savings because of them, that even the most worldly activist and most cynical political observers will be shocked by what they read here.
		And Huffington's indictment of the corporate culture of greed, one that she believes undermines democracy, goes far beyond the high-flying corporate figures featured in congressional investigations.
		Among her accusations are that U.S. drug companies allowed the African AIDS epidemic to rage in the interests of corporate profits, and that President Bush is a conspirator in the corporate disregard of the interests of the American public.

	Undermining the troops - PittsburghLIVE.com
		As more military personnel are killed in Iraq, instead of only blaming the terrorists for their deaths, we also should blame Ted Kennedy for consistently bashing the Bush administration and undermining our efforts in Iraq.
		In aiding and abetting the enemy, Sen. Kennedy and the bleeding hearts in the media, colleges and even in the military qualify as un-American.
		One thing for sure, we must have free speech, but when you undermine the U.S. government and the military forces, you should be put in jail, shot or thrown out of the country.
