@ Albatross: who's left out of the rankings is more interesting than who's in. Burma, North Korea, Soviet Central Asia, many of the worst offenders aren't even ranked. Also, the Wired blog freely mixes relative stats with absolute ones, making the stats harder to understand.

Given those limitations, an unsurprising survey.
