Why no, I've never done literally any research on this topic, but I'm pretty sure I've cracked this mystery.

    I don't doubt the makeup of the factions involved in the happenings here, but the timing is a bit off. There was definitely CIA action against Sukarno in the last few years of the Eisenhower administration, but he'd largely defeated the rebels in '58, and the biggest assassination attempt against him occurred in March 1960. Sukarno lasted until well into the Johnson administration.

      Thanks! I think we were thinking of Lumumba in Congo and mixed up the timeline a bit.
