And why is it old data? Because Jamaat-e-Islaami said so?
Transparency Internationa has been issuing an update of its re****t
every year. The data that I posted is for the year 2007. And now that
it is 2008, we'll have an update of the data in the fall of 2008.

And who told you that it is a CIA sponsored site? Jamaat-e-Islaami's
Aameer?
Transparency International's methodologies are quite transparent.
Javed Iqbal Kaleem can find out exactly how and when the data was
collected and how they were analyzed and who did the analysis. That's
about as transparent as it gets.
In fact, if it were indeed CIA sponsored, Pakistan's corruption would
have been white-washed because, whatever General Pervez Musharraf
might do on the sly, he has been doing his best to be on the right
side of CIA.

I don't have to refute figures by something that calls itself
Alibaba!! And how exactly did this Alibaba manage to get data about
Swiss bank deposits? Is it in CIA's payroll?
Transparency International makes it very clear how the data is
obtained. In Pakistan, for example, there is Transparency
International Pakistan to do the data collection.

Javed Iqbal Kaleem's desperation is all too apparent if he must quote
something like Alibaba over Transparency International!!
Transparency International provides transparency regarding source of
data, methodology of coming up with CPI and identities of scholars who
did that. No one needs to refute Kaleem's puerile temper tantrums.
Alibaba, my foot!
