I don’t think that matters as to the question. I watched meet the depressed Sunday and the guy they had on, brennan(?)Assistant to the President for homeland security and counterterrorism yada yada Obama’s CT advisor admitted yes he could have been held for /by and interrogated by the fbi and cia as a enemy combatant....but they decided not to.

My question is , why?

The article speaks to this as well.

Well, from my perspective it behooves us to err towards following the Constitution. There are several reasons I can think of. Perhaps the best one is that it'd be a damn shame for the SCOTUS to throw out the case because the individual wasn't given due process. Also, if we're seen to be following the highest standard possible, it gives less fuel to the fires that feed recruitment for those who would do us harm.
