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.
