The issue with this question is what does your character feel about it. Here is an example. You have two characters both of good alignment. One a Priest and the other an inquisitor. The Priest may feel that torture is evil, but the inquisitor views it as part of his sacred duty to get the information out of the heritic.
Real life example: Spanish inquisition. Church sanctioned torture.
Another view is that of an evil character, a NG character may view torture of a known enemy prisoner as okay. On the other hand the thought of torturing the prisoner's wife or child to get the same information as to much.
So every GM will have to discuss this with the actual players that want to use torture and look at the character's background and beliefs to determine if it would be an alignment violation.
