That depends on how strong your principles are re human rights and justice versus your emotions, hatred and revenge. If the latter is stronger...well, then you do not need a justice system.
That's just silly. To assert that the position of closing Gitmo is one of human rights and justice whereas the other side is just pure emotion is elitist crap.

Both sides have very intellectual reasonings supporting their beliefs. Why not focus on those rather than reducing the side you disagree with to mere reflex emotions?

Frankly, one could just as easily argue that the argument for closing Gitmo is an emotional consideration of specific individuals over the greater good. That would be just as absurd.
