When the same statistic is measured different ways in different places, you can't reasonably use it to compare the different places, at least not without adjusting for the differences. One of those links I provided did make an attempt to adjust for the differences and the US did pretty well after the adjustment. You might find fault in that particular adjustment, but at least it makes the attempt. If you can provide a better way to adjust go ahead. If not, and if you don't accept the one attempt I've shown you, than the stats are almost useless when comparing countries with different methodology.
