This law you cite does not make it legal for the U.S. to monitor them secretly.

FISA (The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) does allow for really easy warrants and secret wiretapping. I can't for the life of me understand why the Administration didn't just use FISA, instead of going the rout of this questionably legal Executive Order.
