hram777 [196]

Answer: “handing them a death sentence”; “undermines our credibility as a humane country”; “would be a disgrace”

The phrases 1, 4 and 5 express a personal opinion and are openly biased towards a position. This is typical in an editorial, as it represents the particular opinion of the newspaper. On the other hand, the rest of the sentences simply provide facts and explanations.
