Somalia was listed number one in the list of most corrupt country by the international watchdog Transperency International. Somalia was number one with a score of 1.1 (0 being the most corrupt place like, ever and 10 being totally not corrupt). Officials believe that Somalia is this corrupt due to a long period of war that makes the civilians and all inhabitants susceptable to corruption. The United States scored in at 7.5 and 19th on the rankings.

These sources both used quotes from Transperency International in their reports. Also, they both had a few pictures to illustrate their point. The BBC article however, had pictures of the world map with ratings for all countries from 2005-2009. Whereas the CNN article had a picture of soldiers in Somalia with AK-47s.

I believe that these are both extremely credible sources because they are nationally known. I also think that now that we know what countries are most corrupt, we need to work with these countries to expand their wealth, thus making bribes not the only way for them to feed their families.
