Not really.
Firstly they never said that they would turn him to the US. They said that they would turn him to a third country. And only if irrefutable evidence of his guilt were to be provided. And they said that the only would turn Bin Laden, not any other AlQaeda members.
Algo this happened after they US started the bombings. Before the US attacked the Talibans refused to even talk about it. And they would probably just tried to make time to start a truce until Bin Laden left the country.
So it was actually a fake proposal and only after their previous refusal started the bombings on Afghanistan.
The Taliban government in Afghanistan offered to present Osama bin Laden for a trial long before the attacks of September 11, 2001, but the US government showed no interest, according to a senior aide to the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar.

So hey, in fairness, maybe the guy we illegally tortured for years at Bagram may have stretched the truth. But it appears the US CIA station chief simply didn't trust the Taliban in the run up to 9/11 and decided it wasn't worth the trouble to negotiate.
As said by Taliban minister.
Take its veracity with a grain of salt.
I guess I should trust the CIA more?
You should trust information that has verificable independent source.
It's not like in order not to like CIA you have to become a Taliban sympathizer.
