Now is the time for the GCSB to let loose a secret which illustrates its competence.
Until now, the only secrets the public has enjoyed so far are those which show an accidental and bumbling bureau in which we invest great trust.
Bunkered, law-breaking, employing less-than-competent staff for fear of security breaches - its faults were laid bare in a report by Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Kitteridge which sought to clean-up the bureau.
The clean-up doesn't seem to have happened yet.
Another bungle has been exposed.
