Well, I don't know about Pale's military record or any of that, but I do know that frightened people will do ANYTHING no matter how monstrous to cope with their fear.  Torture is just one of those monstrous things.  Pale is afraid of losing his life and he apparently has no religious beliefs (none espoused and he expressed contempt towards me once for assuming that he had some beliefs) and thus I guess he sees nothing wrong with grabbing all the gusto he can by living the Might is Right lifestyle. I'm sorry for him in that it must be difficult to live a life that might push one towards accepting something as cruel and disgusting as torturing other human beings.
