Hmm, but Larry Page is specifically addressing PRISM. And your Wired link agrees with him. And from what I remember, it wasn't so much "documents signed by NSA/CIA officials" as "an internal powerpoint slide".

Didn't the NSA hack Google's own internal fiber? Why would they need to do that if they had the keys to the kingdom anyway?

Yes, google started encrypting the intra-datacenter traffic once it learned what the NSA was doing.
