Yes, we're all frustrated by the limited amount of 'hard' data we have.

Yet, the BEA report seems to have satisfied the 'meedia', which now have switched to 'DSK', 'Murdoch', the 'Red-haired Witch of Wapping' and other more juicy bits.

If I was working for the BEA (and no, I'm not) I'd heave a sigh of relief. To do serious hard reliable work, it does help not having the media, etc., breathing down your neck. Even if getting a full interim report out by the end of July might have seriously up my holiday.
