More review of the capital year

In this post, I noted an array of items reviewing death penalty developments in 2005 (of which the DPIC report discussed here is the most comprehensive).  Today I see that the Washington Post now has this insightful editorial discussing “The Year in Death.”  The piece discusses the “signs — albeit inconsistent signs — of the death penalty’s decline.”  (For additional details on these signs, check out items and links in this post.)
