It's a story that was in my local paper today, (isn't in their online, but did find it at cnet). It's about a guy in Abbottabad on twitter talking about the raid, but not knowing what it was at the time.

Sometimes I think I should work at the Whitehouse.

10. Pakistanis are not Arabs...

and most likely would speak Punjabi or Urdu...or possibly English (as in India, English is an official language there).

No reason this guy couldn't know Arabic, of course, but still...

13. especially liked this part of the interview: "I have tried to reduce the number

of things that I should be concerned about and have tried to focus on things that I can actually change. I can't change the U.S. Afghan policy (or the AfPak policy as they are now preferring), so I spend more brain cycles thinking about how I can help my immediate environment."
