Yes, I think he should be able to collect from the government. If torturing innocent people is that important to public safety, then let the public bear the costs.

I know we aren't supposed to say you guys live in lala land when it comes to security, but help me here: a guy was found near ground zero with some pretty suspicious stuff. you say we can't torture, I believe you think we shouldn't hand him over to say Egypt, so what do we do? take his word that he did nothing wrong and move on, let him go?

Hold him but don't torture him. Question him in the way that law enforcement otherwise does.

ummmm, he was mistaken identity- he had no good information.

He told them the thing was his when it wasn't. He lied, because he wanted them to think he was cooperating. So they mistreated him and got lousy information out of it. A lose-lose, except for those who groove on the idea of torturing people.
