One thing that isn't particularly clear, is the timestamps on tweet library. Based on the top entry, I presume those are UTC. So if the action kicked off at 1 AM PST (UTC+5 according to wiki), then it would have been 4 PM EDT (UTC-4) in Washington. 3:50 PM doesn't jive with this (unless Pakistan is on DST). Another article said that the burial at sea was completed by 2 AM EDT (so they presumably were done by 3 PM in Pakistan, about 14 hours after the first tweet). |

Today's news are more accurate on that matter: "At 2:05 p.m., Mr. Panetta sketched out the operation to the group for a final time. Within an hour, the C.I.A. director began his narration, via video from Langley. “They’ve crossed into Pakistan,” he said." [http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/world/asia/03intel.html?pa...]
