There is no need to label everyone Taliban. The resistive elements in Afghanistan are Pashtun tribal who do not like to see puppet government and foreign troops on their land. NATO and US are demonizing them by labeling Taliban.

"The Pakistan army's mental block about the Afghan Taliban is still there. They still believe them as their connection in Afghanistan. Mullah Baradar's arrest was not deliberate, it was a mistake," the US official told Asia Times Online.

seriously?

that was a pretty epic mistake

These people just love to float their version of their story

What's to keep him from doing a complete 180 now? Or that he won't be killed by his own people since he helped arrest quite a few of them.

i guess doing a 180 would not be one of his options , owing to the fact that Pakistan has historic ties with AT however as rightly pointed out by many that soon after the ISAF the karzai and his cronies will eventually find themselves landing in an another round of Civil War , and needles to say , we know whose gona be at there back and the backer's back too... !!!

Mullah Baradar released?

By Ali K Chishti

Daily Times has learnt from credible sources that Mullah Ghani Baradar, who was arrested earlier this year from Karachi, had been “freed” due to mediation with the Taliban leadership. Mulla Baradar was caught by a special team of the ISI and the CIA hit squad in Karachi in an action, which resembled any Hollywood flick.

Earlier, it was Daily Times which broke the news about certain Arab envoys, who were active in the back-channel diplomacy with the consent of Pakistani and American leadership to solve the Afghan crisis.

Talking to Daily Times, a Taliban leader did not confirm or denied the reports about Mullah Baradar, but commented “Baradar was never arrested in the first place”. It is to be noted that Afghan President Hamid Karzai was extremely angry at the arrest of Mullah Baradar, who saw it as a dent to the on-going peace talks between Kabul and Taliban. Initially, the arrest was taken as a sign of anger by the ISI which wanted to micro-manage the talks, and would want Islamabad’s active role in the move.

The Federal Interior Ministry had failed to comment on the story, while the Americans also did not confirm the story but as per sources “the folks in Washington DC had given a nod for the release of Baradar”, and that the Americans and the British were aware of the situation. A western diplomat commented, “This could be the biggest risk we are taking to seal a deal in Afghanistan but I am not too optimistic about it.”

“That’s about as far as I can go on that at this point,” he said. US and NATO leaders said on Thursday they were ready to help the Afghan president to pursue reconciliation efforts with the Taliban.

Good questions.

Also, how many people still believe that Americans are going to be in Afghanistan on long term basis in significant numbers?

I tend to think Americans are ready to leave even if the President was McCain or Palin.
