With a tight news embargo temporarily in effect in Washington and Saigon, the few emerging details of the operation came from Hanoi, which angrily charged that "the insane Americans have attacked many populated areas" in Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Quang Binh provinces. The North Vietnamese claimed to have shot down 19 American planes; the U.S. owned up to only four downed aircraft...
