Pic of Mike Pompeo meeting with Taliban leader
comes back to haunt him as he critiques Biden
on Afghanistan

Mr Wallace responded, however, by pointing out
that Mr Pompeo himself had pushed to legitimise
the Taliban’s leadership under the Trump
administration, which eventually inked a
ceasefire deal that largely resulted in the
Taliban shifting their military attacks to
target local security forces and the Afghan
National Army.

"Do you regret giving the Taliban that legitimacy?
Do you regret pressing the Afghan government to
release 5,000 prisoners, which they did, some of
whom are now back on the battlefield fighting with
the Taliban?" asked Mr Wallace.

The U.S. military was blindsided Thursday by
President Donald Trump’s assertion that all U.S.
troops will be out of Afghanistan by the end of
the year, with U.S. officials saying they are
not aware of such a plan and have gotten no
actual order to accelerate the more gradual
pullout they’ve been executing.

Trump’s comments, laid out in a confusing
progression of comments and a tweet, alarmed
Pentagon and State officials who fear that
putting a definitive date on troop withdrawal
could undercut negotiations to finalize a peace
deal between the Taliban and the Afghan government.
They also fear a hasty withdrawal could force the
U.S. to leave behind sensitive military equipment.
And they continue to stress that the Taliban has
still not met requirements to reduce violence
against the Afghans, a key element of the U.S.
withdrawal plan.

The Taliban welcomed Trump’s announcements ...

President Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan on Sunday
said his government would release a last batch of
Taliban prisoners, removing the final hurdle in
the way of direct negotiations with the insurgents
to end the country’s long war.

His announcement came after a consultative
assembly where he had been advised by thousands of
representatives from across the country.

The release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners, which the
United States agreed to in a February deal with the
insurgents that also began the phased withdrawal of
American troops, faced opposition from the Afghan
government, which is holding the prisoners. After
prolonged pressure from the Trump administration,
Mr. Ghani released 4,600 prisoners from a list
provided by the Taliban but called for consultations
over 400, who he said were accused or convicted of
major crimes, including murder, that were beyond his
authority to pardon.
