I was under the impression that he was an American citizen being tried in the American court system.

If you remember, it was not known in the beginning whether he would be tried by a US Courts Martial (as an enemy soldier), or as an American citizen aiding and abetting the enemy.

Maybe you should have gone in and retrieved him?

Ahem... he's dangerous.

For all we know, this picture may have been taken before his identity was established, since he did hide it for a time. But that doesn't really matter. The picture is not evidence of torture, or any other cruel or unusuall punishment. At most it might be a result of a bit of exxcess caution by his captors, who had just been attacked by a bunch of Lindh's buddies after they had supposedly surrendered.
