I agree that the ISI seemed to prefer to fund some of the more radical mujahedeen. But it's a big jump to take that fact and use it to argue that the US sponsored bin Laden (he had his own money, in fact it was his main contribution to the fight against the Russians), or the Taliban (who became significant in the 90s long after the Soviets had pulled out and our involvement had ended.
