I think that, actually, Blake feels he has dirtied his hands even before Star One. He doesn't feel at ease about the violence he has commited, and perhaps he thinks, if he finally manages to bring down the Federation by blowing up Control, it will in a way redeem all his actions up to that point. It will give some meaning to all the killing and destruction. This is how I interpret his (much criticised) sentence, "I have to be sure that I'm right." Blake has never been sure that he's right to kill.
That's exactly how I've always interpreted it. You mean there are people who see it differently?
