  @4 Of course it is... but this biased site had to make a point to bash Argentina. There are only 4 members in Mercosur and they used it as if it were relevant just to put Argentina last, which, in fact, its not.
  
  Besides, this list is based upon “perceived” corruption by asking citizens. There is no scientific data to back this up.

  Yes, the index is indeed based on opinions - hence its name, Corruption Perceptions Index. But the opinions it is based upon, are not those of citizens, but instead outside analysts. I can't say whether this adds in creditiblity to the index, though.

  does this index include the countries that finance and arm terrorist ? or does it side line the countryes who don't take part in the piracy schemes ??? it does include them but they are at the top of the chart, neither the CIA, mosad, MI6, AL-qaeda nor the taliban have a head offices in neitherone of the bottom countryes, bias is too kind of a word to descrive what's really being said wich amounts to nothing more then propaganda. maybe this index was already writen when this more relevent report came out. “Among the evidence sought by the defense are documents pertaining to the now-infamous Operation “Fast and Furious.” Under that program, the U.S. federal government — with approval from the highest levels of the administration — deliberately put high-powered American weaponry in the hands of Mexican cartels, often at taxpayer expense. The plan has resulted in thousands of deaths so far, including the slayings of more than a few U.S. and Mexican law-enforcement officers.
  “It is clear that some of the weapons were deliberately allowed by the FBI and other government representatives to end up in the hands of the Sinaloa Cartel,” the motion states, arguing that the relevant documents will prove that the U.S. government gave the cartel weapons pursuant to the agreement between Zambada-Niebla’s organization and American officials.”

  in conclution if what we read is propaganda and garbage, what do you think the outcome of any relevant disputed material will be ?? the argument in the context provided is designed to dictate a dividing agenda rather then an informative one, the comparisons are murky and the theorys to support their argument is none existent to say the least, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that one out. There are somethings worth mentioning, 1) the nations that finace terrorism are listed among the 10 top while the ones who arm them are among the 30's.
