Wi the American intelligence get a leak on the get offensive?

I had to take care with my wording above, basically the idea is that before the offensive the American intelligence gets A accurate description of what is going to happen without the north Vietnamese government knowing of the leak. How is the south vietnamese army and the USA army going to respond? Can they break the offensive on a way to save the south Vietnam?

Actually there was a group of code-breakers that did crack the VC's code before the Tet Offensive (then the VC's changed their codes after launching the attack). Unfortunately, it was believed as disinformation until it was too late.

And Westmoreland was deploying troops in the wrong place - moving them might put them into more danger.

What if these two does not happen?
 
Best thing to come out of that would be the Embassy siege turning out differently. Knocking the city of Hue to rubble was less a PR disaster than that siege on the evening news
