9/11 destroyed the Western World. European countries have followed the US and now they're less free than they used to be.

Is there a single country that is reasonably free and where freedom is increasing instead of decreasing?

That list is a total joke. Norway is below UAE where you get several years of jail for concensual sex between adults.

EDIT: it's a list measuring economic freedom so it's clearly not relevant to discussion about PRISM.
