It sounds like Google and Yahoo should have been more suspicious and
acted on that suspicion. Apparently the NSA intercepted on the leased
fiber lines from companies like Level 3, which were not encrypted and
vulnerable to intervention without Google knowing it (just like a user
would not know that Google was handing over data via PRISM). Doing this
offshore with the help of GCHQ gave them less legal liability.
