Not sure if this was posted yet as to Ambassador Stevens replacement.
Anyone have any backdrop on him?

Wiki:
Laurence Everett Pope II (born 1945) is a retired United States Ambassador to Chad. Pope held a number of senior posts in the Department of State. He was the Director for Northern Gulf Affairs (19871990), Associate Director for Counter-Terrorism (19911993), U.S. Ambassador to Chad (19931996),[1] and Political Advisor to General Zinni USMC, Commander-in-Chief of United States Central Command (19972000).[2] In 2000, President Clinton nominated him for Ambassador to Kuwait but he did not receive the appointment from Congress.
Ambassador Pope retired from the U.S. Foreign Service on October 2, 2000 after 31 years of service. He continues to consult with various institutions and is a respected arabist. A graduate of Bowdoin College, Pope also had advanced studies at Princeton University and is a graduate of the U.S. Department of State Senior Seminar, a Senior Fellow at the Armed Forces Staff College. He speaks Arabic and French, and resides in Portland, Maine.

Not to be ghoulish, but isn’t it true that you can take out a life insurance policy on another person without their approval or even their knowledge? If so, is anyone here a life insurance agent?

You have to have an insurable interest.
On the issue of his age, perhaps he is getting out in front of one of O dummy’s death panels. Anyone know if he has some incurable disease?
