Brits chat with Taliban
MI6 ‘held peace talks with Taliban’
The British secret service has engaged in peace talks with senior Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan, it has been claimed.
MI6 agents held a number of discussions, known as “jirgas”, with members of the hardline Islamist group, according to a Daily Telegraph report.
If true, the revelation could embarrass Prime Minister Gordon Brown, coming just weeks after he told MPs: “We will not enter into negotiations with these people.”</em>
Embarrass? Why? Gordon Brown is a politician. Hence, he only speaks nonsense to keep his subjects distracted while he does whatever he wishes.
