As far as we know, NSA etc cannot read other people's PGP encrypted
mail. I think it is important to remember (and state clearly in these
type of discussions) that this is an assumption that cannot be tested.
It could be tested. All it would take is some people who are willing to
use PGP encrypted communications to plan and carry out the assassination
of a Five-eyes top ranking political or military figure.
If NSA is able to break or circumvent the PGP encryption of these
communications, the conspirators would be busted and the decrypted
evidence used to put them away forever.
It's known that five-eyes law enforcement was unable (or unwilling?) to
catch the majority of a child pedophile ring as detailed here:

So either intelligence agencies are willing to let pedophiles walk in
order to protect operational secrets, or they can't crack PGP.
