CAMP DAVID, Md., Aug 6 (Reuters) - The Taliban is a danger to children, aid workers and other innocent people, but is a "defeated" force that is not a threat to the government of Afghanistan, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said on Monday.

"They're not causing any threat to the government of Afghanistan. They're not causing any threat to the institutions of Afghanistan or to the buildup of the institutions of Afghanistan," Karzai said at a news conference after two days of meetings with U.S. President George W. Bush at the Camp David retreat in the Maryland mountains.
