2 things come to memory immediately (not personal experience, just from reading):

I recall MAJ Plaster's book and the general concensus that many missions were being blown before launch, that this was coming from deep inside MACV-SOG. Hence, attempts at changing insertion points literally on the fly from what was known in Saigon prior to launch.

In CPT Stanton's SF history of that period I encountered that same suspicion, which some linked to an LLDB individual...

It would appear this was much more than a 1 or 2 faceted effort, something that has potentially a bigger intel "take" but can allow for some vetting as well, one source to the other. That says Ivan all over it, to me.

QP Big Teddy thanks for posting.
