Hi Carrie:
What does this mean?
"Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
Can you please translate this for me?
Thanks.

Carrie and Raj, you have ignited my curiousity ...
GOOGLE reveals...
The Romans had a phase: "Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
which is often translated as "Who Guards the Guards", but more
accurately should read "Who watches the watchmen?"

Juvenal (D. Iunius Iuvenalis)
Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (Satires, VI.347-8)
But who will guard the guardians themselves?
