Well, one reason might be if that government agency didn't have lawful
authorization from the country where the call takes place.

(say, SIGINT on GSM calls made in Libya)

Another might be if the government agency did not want to disclose the
presence of the eavesdropping to the telephone company that is carrying
the calls.
