[voodoo logic] haiti world’s most corrupt

The ten most corrupt countries, according to Transparency International and as seen by business people, academics and risk analysts: Haiti, Burma, Iran, Guinea, Sudan, DR Congo, Chad, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan and Equatorial Guinea. French and Italian firms were named as the worst culprits for paying bribes in low-income countries. Poor Haiti has suffered from decades of poverty, environmental degradation, violence, instability and dictatorship which have left it as the poorest nation in the Americas. The ten least corrupt: Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Australia and the Netherlands. Netherlands not corrupt? Denmark? Hmmm. And where is Russia?
