How moderate do they have to be?

On March 10, I reported on Obama's desire to "reach out" to "Taliban moderates." I questioned whether such a thing as a Taliban moderate existed. This week, the commander of the Pakistani Taliban, Baitullah Mehsud, said, "Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world." He identified the White House as one of the targets. You think he's moderate enough for Obama to "reach out" to him?
