Well that's a rather unexpected move. I have a hard time believing that the US would ever treat the Taliban as a legit political organization.

Remember, it was the US that put the Taliban in power to begin with.
The US helped to overthrow the democratically elected, secular, Afghan government.
The US has a long and unashamed history of propping up violent dictatorships and religious extremists, when politically convenient.
