Transit, Exchange Point Agreements, and Acceptable Use?

I'll apologize up front if this offends anyone's sensitivities as to
what is relevant for list conversation... but one sentence in this
Channel4 News story (from what I understand, Channel4 is a very
popular news source in the UK) struck me as perhaps in violation of
some sort of peering and/or transit agreement. Cable and Wireless:

"...even went as far as providing traffic from a rival foreign
communications company, handing information sent by millions of
internet users worldwide over to spies."

The entire article is here:

My question is this: Do willful actions such as these violate peering,
transit, and/or exchange agreements in any way?

Thanks,
