Any list which has pakistan as being less corrupt that USA has real
problems with credibility! Not to mention all the other countries with
dictators which are listed as less corrupt ...

I think the blue bar is confusing. I'm pretty sure Finland is less
corrupt than Chad.

If one reads the legend at the bottom, one will see that the higher
the score (out of 10), the less corrupt a nation is. The top of the
chart is less corrupt, the bottom (Chad) the worst. The U.S. actually
scores pretty well, all things considered.

I would also very much like to understand how the scoring, by business
leaders and another poorly defined group, is actually accomplished.
In other words, no matter what the scores say, take this with a VERY
BIG grain of salt until you better understand the methodology.
