US officials confirmed this week that they are considering a prisoner swap deal with the Taliban as part of the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan next year. Officials say they are considering transferring five Taliban members out of the Guantanamo Bay prison, in a bid to begin negotiations for a peace deal with the Taliban. The confirmation appears to be a complete turnaround for the administration of US President Barack Obama. During his campaigning in 2008, Obama prioritised the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban vowing that it was a "war" the US had to win. But in recent comments, Joe Biden, Obama's vice-president, said the "...Taliban per se, is not [their] enemy". He cited the cost, complication and lack of popularity of large-scale efforts as reasons to "negotiate and to slowly withdraw". Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane reports from Washington.

www.euronews.net A leaked NATO report claims the Taliban are preparing to retake control of Afghanistan when the alliance's troops leave in 2014. The top secret report, which Britain's 'The Times' newspaper claims was compiled by the US military, also says Pakistan's intelligence service has been helping the Taliban mount attacks against foreign forces. The document reportedly says that the Taliban sees its return to power as "inevitable" once NATO forces have pulled out and that many ordinary Afghans agree.

Travellers in Afghanistan are forced to face the dangers of bad roads, robbers and armed fighters. While they have little hope concerning the transport system and thievery, some Afghans have found that the right ringtones for their mobile phones, what they call, "a Taliban visa", can protect them from the group. But, they say, the very same ringtones could invite unwelcoming questions from the authorities. Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith reports from Kabul.

Before the Russians were defeated in Afghanistan they talked to the Mujahideen. Before the Americans were defeated in Vietnam, there were talks about the talks with the VietCong in Paris. And now it is the same for the Americans in Afghanistan. The Taliban have not negotiated with the Americans, nor have the Taliban recognized the US puppet Govt of Karzai. In fact the Karzai Govt is withdrawing its Ambassador to Qatar. I think the game has always been to civilize the Afghanis, and maybe the Americans are hoping the Gulf states will corrupt the Taliban. But this is not what Sayed is saying, and he is the Afghani. . Donations (Morris): www.paypal.com .

For the last ten years the US refused to negotiate with the Taliban. Former President Bush called talks with the Taliban a foolish delusion. But now the US has reportedly agreed to release high ranking Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. Is it possible for the US to have peace talks with the Taliban forces? Neil Shea, journalist and writer, gives us his take on what the Afghanistan people think about the Taliban and what the US gets out of releasing Taliban members.
