The following thought has been in the back of my head for a few days, and I wanted to see if I was delusional, or if anyone else hears what I've heard this whole time.
I've watched the famous clip of Helen Thomas speaking to the man with the camera many times over the last few days, in the different stories and accounts I've read.
I was always certain, form the first time I saw the clip, that the man asking Helen the question very clearly says "Any comments on Israel? We're arresting everyone today, any comments on Israel?" (I assumed jokingly using the word arrested, to elicit a more candid and perhaps less guarded response from Helen)
Yet every article I've read so far says the man is saying "We're asking everyone today"
Then today, in reading one of the latest updates in SOTT http://www.sott.net/articles/show/210181-The-Ambush-of-Helen-Thomas I saw not only that, but also
And I've always understood what the woman in the background is saying to be "Helen is blunt." (nervously defending what was just said)
Did Helen even know she was being recorded?
I'd appreciate any input or ideas, just trying to get the basics correct here, and I want to be sure I'm not hearing something that isn't there, lol.
PS - I did listen to the clip a few times before posting this, specifically to see if I had been mis-hearing, but I still think that is what's being said, hence the post. :)

"Oooh..." responds the questioner. "Any better comments?" (A voice in the background: "Helen is fun!")
