Musharraf in his memoir In the Line of Fire devotes chapter 6 to the Pakistan Military Academy. Musharraf spells Abbotabad in his book on page 40. This is the town bin Laden was likely staying in when Mush wrote the book and it was published in 2006 and he came on his book tour here. Mush also has Abbotabad in the index and on a map at the front. The map does not appear to be in the Google books version.
Mush went on Jon Stewart in his 2006 book tour and Stewart asked him, jokingly, where was bin Laden. Mush cracked wise back. But it appears now that when Mush wrote his book and went on Jon Stewart that bin Laden was already in the Abbottabad Safe House and it was built for him at Mush’s orders.
This was Mush lying to our face. We Safe Housers know this and can say it.
“Where is Osama bin Laden?” is at the start of the tape in the middle of the tea ceremony.

Mush lies and says he doesn’t know. At that very moment, bin Laden was in the safe house in Abbottabad or Abbotabad as Mush spells it. This was right next to where Mush spent several years of his life, presumably 4, at the Pakistan Military Academy.
Mush has two maps at the start of his book, one without Abbotabad on it and one with. This is clearly an important town to him since he has a chapter on it, and he puts it on one of his maps. It was likely where he himself ordered or approved the safe house for bin Laden to be built.
Abbotabad was a town he knew and that he lived in during these formative years that he writes about in his book. He calls that chapter, “The Potter’s Wheel.” Interesting choice of words, since not only was he shaped there, but he had a safe house shaped there for bin Laden to stay at and avoid observation.
