http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/21/world/asia/afghanistan-grossman-talks/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 The talks would be the product of what officials call "confidence-building measures," such as the opening of the office in Qatar's capital Doha and a Taliban renunciation of terrorism in exchange for the release of five Taliban members being detained at Guantanamo Bay.
Clinton said last week no transfers were imminent, but Grossman's talks in Kabul are expected to address the possible release of the detainees.
Once described as preconditions for peace talks to occur, Clinton now says insurgents must lay down their arms, accept the Afghan constitution and end ties with al Qaeda as "necessary outcomes" of the discussions.
