the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year

This is for foreign intelligence only, not US citizens

(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—

(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801 (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or

More limitations to foreign powers only, not US citizens

(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and

Exclusion of US persons.

This does not cover what Bush has permitted.

I agree with you. I also don't see why the administration wouldn't notfy the FISA court within the 72 hours like the lasw calls for. I mean, I don't see the big deal in ordering the surveillance then going to the FISA court in the next 24-72 hrs and getting the retroactive warrant? It just appears like there's something to hide.
