Tony Thomas said, "There’s a great need to inform the American public about what we’re up to. There’s also great need to recognize things that will absolutely undercut our ability to do our job.” Thomas, who heads the Special Operations Command, was speaking about ISIS in Iraq and Syria during a Q and A session moderated by Fox News' Catherine Herridge. ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi's network has been "dismantled," Thomas said, but leaked information in 2015 compromised a lead to al Baghdadi himself.
