4. Well, according to Miller, the administration thought that Kopassus had reformed enough
From your link:

"And last summer, Secretary of State Gates—Secretary of Defense Gates went to Indonesia on a surprise visit, quick visit, and announced that the U.S. would engage with Kopassus. They didn’t say it would be full training, but they said that enough reform had happened—some of the officers, that had been convicted within Kopassus of killing a Papuan leader, who had been jailed briefly and then restored to the unit, were removed from the unit, though not from the military, significantly enough—and that that was enough progress to restore this last bit, and that they would focus on counterterrorism training."
