The ones in the picture may or may not be Taliban but its well know that Rohrabacher has met and tried to negotiate peace with the Taliban or accepted grants from Arabs.
To: Gengis Khan
The Taliban was born inside Pakistan madrassas which during the day of Soviet invasion thrived with Saudi and CIA money and was operated and controlled by the ISI. The student (who later on became Jihadis) were ethnic Pashtuns from both sides of the Durand line and and it was hard to clearly differentiate them as either Pakistani or Afghans
Foreign influence, including largely Saudi money, did spearhead and promote what eventually became the Taliban. Interesting that you pretend that PAKISTANI = LOCAL AFGHAN. The ISI and Pakistani invading Afghanistan, is not what I'd call local Afghan Mujahideen. The Taliban fought against, killed, conquered, and replaced the local Afghan Mujahideen. 10-15 years earlier, the CIA worked with the LOCAL Afghan Mujahideen. Why the hell would the CIA to talk to someone who DID NOT know the nooks and crannies of Afghanistan the way an Afghan does? What possible brain-damaged reason would anyone have to talk to NON-Afghans while fighting the Soviets inside Afghanistan? The real soncspiracy theory is how you guys can dream up such crazy theories. The USA worked with the Afghans, not outsiders, including Pakstinis. The only dealing we had with Pakistan was to allow trasn-shipment of people and arms to the REAL Mujahideen in Afghanistan. QUESTION: Who financed the planting of hundreds of Madrassah schools all across Paksitan and elsewhere? You guessed it: Saudi oil money.
