Quote: <BR> <BR>"Freedom House is a United States-based international non-governmental organization that conducts research and advocacy on democracy, political freedom and human rights.[2] It publishes an annual assessment of the perceived degree of democratic freedoms in each country, which is used in political science research.[3] <BR>The organization was founded by Wendell Willkie and Eleanor Roosevelt in 1941, and describes itself as "a clear voice for democracy and freedom around the world." The group states "American leadership in international affairs is essential to the cause of human rights and freedom" and that this can primarily be achieved through the group's "analysis, advocacy, and action".[4] Freedom House receives about 80% of its budget from the U.S. government,[5] but also receives funding from various other sources, for example the Bradley Foundation, the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Dutch government, and a list of others.[5] The organization has been criticized[who?] for receiving funding from and allegedly furthering the interests of the U.S. government,[6] while others have offered praise to the group." <BR> <BR>Source <BR><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_House" target=_top>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_House</a> <BR> <BR> <BR>Today I saw a short news in Finnish stating that Finland is a model country of political freedom. <BR> <BR>Soucrce: <BR><a href="http://www.mtv3.fi/uutiset/kotimaa.shtml/arkistot/kotimaa/2009/01/778964" target=_top>http://www.mtv3.fi/uutiset/kotimaa.shtml/arkistot/ kotimaa/2009/01/778964</a> <BR> <BR>The original report in English was published today. <BR> <BR>Please, look at the following link: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN1555894320080116" target=_top>http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN1 555894320080116</a> <BR> <BR>Obviously the whole report is longer, as I failed to see the word Finland in the page indicated above.
