Well, Landesberg, being a fellow deep operator with a double, pre-assassination this might just be mundane anti-leftist psy-ops. As far as a need to know it might be difficult for intel to keep the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald was a famous Marine defector from Landesberg. So being in the program they might have let him in on it just in case he accidentally found out and threatened the plan. The question should be why would Landesberg, who by the 1990's would have to know Oswald was in the Soviet Union at the time, refer to the double as Oswald?

Hearing all those "snowballing" stories of Oswald in NYC, they must have assumed they actually dated from after June 13, '62, after Harvey came back to the U.S. Otherwise, they'd have to assume Two Oswalds, eh?
Which is why a doubles program is effective because it works against the natural instincts of the mind.
