If he used it to spy on AMericans, who amy or may not have worked with those foreigners I would have no problem with it as long as he complied with the FISAct. FISA has an exception for spying done pusuant to other statutes. Congress passed a use of force resolution against Al Queda, Courts have ruled that the Constitutional role of Commander and Chief carries inherent authority to spy in the application of the use of force. Ergo, current controlling authority is that the program is perfectly legal under FISA because it falls clearly under the exceptions written into FISA.
