As a practical matter it's impossible to decrypt a file or message encrypted using PGP without the intended recipient's key file and password. It is possible to steal those items if improperly secured (keylogging will get you there), or to directly view and record the content by stationing one's self near the receiving terminal and intercepting stray RF signals from the user's monitor, all using technology that exists for those purposes, but that is hardly "hacking" PGP.
I believe what Phil Z. has written on this subject, as well as what I've been personally told by a person I know who was (is?) working for that agency you mentioned.
