Re: Pakistan’s top judge is suspended (Merged)
you have to be seriously out of touch to believe that bhutto and nawaz sharif were less corrupt than musharraf.
transparency international uses a corruptions perception index which is just that..a perception. But if you read their reports, they say,
Gillani recalls that in a 2002 Transparency survey of 3,000 respondents, the Benazir and Nawaz governments were considered corrupt by 48.70 per cent and 43.03 per cent respectively. Musharraf’s government was considered corrupt by only 3.17 per cent; Ziaul Haq’s by 1.53 per cent and Ayub Khan’s by 2.17 per cent. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto emerged as the least corrupt and cleanest of all Pakistani rulers with 1.4 per cent.

Seems it’s just down to timing
Oh but let’s go back to 1996
*As to why didn’t Transparency International Pakistan work with previous Pakistani rulers – say in 1996, when it dubbed the Benazir Bhutto regime as one of the most corrupt in the world – Gillani says back then the TIP did not follow the code of conduct of Transparency International that makes it a mandatory neutral setup which does not take names or take sides. The then TI Pakistan chapter was dismantled and only revived in 2001. *
