<The FISA court, created in 1978, can legally authorize secret surveillance but only after the government shows probable cause that it is aimed at foreign governments or their agents, not what the law defines as "U.S. persons," a term that includes aliens legally in the country. >

According to the story in the Washington Post, the law is clear. You need a warrant to spy on US Persons...that would definitely include citizens as well.
