Didn't I already address that?
eta: If I understand the bill correctly, it means no habeas corpus for anyone held outside the country. Which means the government can detain someone as long as they like, for whatever reason they like. That's absolutely nuts.

The US military is not a Holiday Inn. They are not going to hold someone found "innocent" indefinitely.
I see the hypo as flawed.
Also, no, I don't think we should be affording additional Constitutional protections to foreign nationals held on foreign soil.
In your hypo, let the government of this "innocent" worry about him and get him released via diplomatic channels.
