    	Not necessarily.  There are a vast number of misconfigured proxies
    available on the 'net that would afford a malicious outsider ample
    opportunity to do their dirty work without betraying their point of
    origin.  This negates the immediacy of any audit trail and exacerbates the
    severity of Gibson's oversight.
