Obama eyes reaching out to moderate Taliban

Moderate Taliban? Isn't that like negotiating with a moderate killer, one who has killed only three or four versus six or more? or maybe a moderate drug dealer who sells to adults but refuses to sell to junior high students.

One has to talk to them all or to none of them.

Yeah, I was wondering what "moderate" Taliban meant. Does that mean they would just smother me with the burqa instead of stoning me to death . . .

. . . or cutting off my head?
