Rewatching "Here Today" and Toby was right

So, hear me out. I know it was revenge from the writers b/c they did like Richard. But the way they tried to vilify him backfired. The president himself in all the seasons leading up to this one made a point that we don't sacrifice americans, period. The best example of this was the Columbian hostages. How upset he was when they were tricked. How he could have had a US agent walk into Juan Aguilar's cell and shoot him in the head, but didn't b/c he knew the operatives would be killed.

I was watching the series again and I feel like when Bartlet said "Toby, when you walk out of here, there will be people out there, perhaps a great many, that will think of you as a hero. I just don't want you to think for a moment that I'll be one of them." Toby should have said "And that's why I felt I had to do it Mr. President."

This was a prime example of Toby being right about Jed's demons shouting down his better angels, and Toby doing what was right even if it cost him literally everything. I think it should have made Bartlet feel shame for Toby doing what he should have done the whole time.
