This is a lot of revisionism. The Taliban offered to "discuss" handing over bin Laden on the condition the US stopped bombing them. It was a clear delay tactic. They demanded evidence that he was responsible and would only turn him over to a neutral third party. Way too little too late.
It's totally false that Talbian and al Qaeda were not allies. Al Qaeda trained members of the Taliban army. If the Taliban despised al Qaeda tactics, why didn't they agree to the US demands after 9-11. Or why didn't they boot al Qaeda out of the country before 9-11.
Taliban were complicit before and after the attacks.
