Well  ecotect the link that you provided, describes what Kirk did this way:

"The Hill People are at war with the Villagers, who have been taught to make guns for nearly a year by the Klingon Empire, in violation of its peace treaty with the Federation. To balance the Klingons' aid to the Villagers, Kirk teaches the Hill People to use firearms as well, but he realizes he has introduced the serpent into the garden of Eden."

(Actually the Klingons had already "introduced the serpent into the garden of Eden")

Sooo, basically you are arguing that helping the "Hill People" defend themselves from being slaughtered is morally worse than torture? Really ??

Well, at least this has given me some small insight into the thinking of a Jack Bauer fan.
