[quote]Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Peace talks between the United States and the Taliban over the war in Afghanistan will probably be held "in the next few days," a senior U.S. administration official told CNN on Wednesday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not offer up a time line for the discussions. But a prisoner exchange is one of the issues the United States intends to discuss with the Taliban. Senior U.S. officials say they want the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier captured by militants in 2009.[/quote]

I thought it was their policy to not negotiate with terrorists?
I didn't know that the Taliban actually had any U.S prisoners.
Afghan Taliban offers to swap captive U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl for 5 Guantanamo detainees

They might not be U.S. civs, they might be members of U.S friendly Afghan groups

Could you try reading the article? Or at least the snippet I posted here? It clearly mentions a "Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier captured by militants in 2009".
