I'm not confusing the Taliban with anyone, and yes, Churchill mentioned them (the Taliban) on numerous occasions in his autobiographical books during experiences there during 'The Great Game.' It would seem that your information is derived from a Western view, mostly from those of whom that have never been there - or visited briefly. One has to appreciate that propaganda is not necessarily the truth.
