I'll bite.  What does the following reference to "forensics"
mean, and how does it square with previous discussions that
the US govt. has a policy of not tracking its customers?

  Tim Ball, director of systems and development for the U.S. Senate's
  Democratic Policy   Committee knows what it's like to be under
  constant spider attack. The Senate website relies extensively
  on server logs for forensics, but Ball is no longer confident that
  approach will be helpful in the long run.

Would automated approaches such as connection throttling work better
for fending off "spider attacks", than manual inspection of logs?
The only requirement for forensics that I can think of, would be
to analyze a hack or compromise of some sort.
