Yes, the bill changed over the course and excludes now US citizens, which wasn't specified in previous drafts.
There is still the "detention without trial" included.
Check out Boumediene v. Bush for an example how this is seen by the US Supreme Court.

Another point: if an individual "substantially supported/"directly supported" hostilities, it should be easy to prove at a trial.
