Afghanistan denies peace talks with Taliban

The announcement last month of Baradar's arrest in Karachi by U.S. and Pakistani agents has led to numerous unconfirmed media reports the former top Taliban military commander might have been talking to Kabul, and that may have led to his arrest.

Despite being the mastermind of years of suicide strikes and other attacks on Karzai's government, Baradar is Karzai's tribal kinsmen and therefore seen as someone who might be more likely than other militants to accept an invitation to talks.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Baradar was involved in "peace talks" with Karzai's government at the time of his arrest, quoting an unidentified aide to the Afghan president and a provincial official.

Well of course they deny it. Karzai's govt. want to keep the $$$ rolling in from the pentagon, state dept. etc.

In the long run the Afganis will show no loyality to the US. Even the tribal leaders and the phony govt. the US installed will play the US for chumps; not liberators.
