The Trojan horses theory of the Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa: How True! Our Defence Secretary has said well of Trojan horses type of activity by foreign sources.

The Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) today said, before India sought to point its finger at Sri Lanka on war crimes allegations it should address the human rights violations of the Indian people including 93,000 disappearances in Kashmir which still remained unaddressed.
JHU General Secretary and Science and Technology Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said, if the Indian Parliamentary Delegation which is currently in Sri Lanka had visited the country with honourable intentions, their visit would be welcome, but it was evident that the Indian visit was part of a protest campaign to further distort the country’s image.

Perhaps all the people cannot be fooled all the time. But, going by the Rajapaksa record, fooling all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time can more than suffice.
