This is 2006? Did the creators of this index think they're living in 1966? China, "Mostly Unfree"? I'm interested in knowing what they were smoking when they made this. Or which rock they crawled out from. -- Миборовский U|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai! 23:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems to be western centric and the company that did the research just happened to be located in Washington D.C., and their mission statment (?) says "The Heritage Foundation is committed to building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish."
