Afghanistan rates better in freedom then Pakistan..

I was reading the Freedom House which is a nonpartisan NGO advocating and doing work for freedom and democracy in the world. The Freedom House publishes an annual Freedom in the world report which tells the level of freedom in the countries. The work rates country from 1 (free) to 10 (not free) and the rest in between as partly free.

Going through the list that I found out that (is also available on wiki) Afghanistan is rated better in democracy then Pakistan which is stated as undemocratic.

During my life I had the opportunity to interact and meet hundreds of Afghan refugees in my country and ask anyone they would undoubtedly decline the statement. There are many migrants who ran away here to find safe heaven from been coerced. At one moment I could remember an analogy from an Afghani who said to me that "As you people think of going to America the same way we in Afghanistan want to come here in Pakistan". Still today the Afghanis don't want to go home in this American regime because they know the situation is only better in media but the true picture is very different.

Hey.. Freedom House I don't know where have you come along with this statistics... It's sad to see such an organization of repute does things which are not only offensive but doing worse...

But i would like to point out something more.... the wikipedia describes it being predominantly US funded. Then the funding agency must have some say over it...
Furthermore couple of years ago I was at some place in front of an idiot-box where there was a scholar who was telling that the World Bank's most heavy funder is USA. The BoD of World Bank is from there funding partners. The USA has a share which allows it to veto anything and initiate and validate anything without consent from any funding partner... that project is being carried over in the name of World Bank but we can see how much US interest is involved in the project.

This may means that Freedom House may be working for US interest telling the audience (world) that after our invasion the things are better in Afghanistan then even their neighbours (many other countries)..
