The Patriot Act accomplishes it's goal very effectively. Then you need a popular label for them: "Terrorists"
Then all they need is a place to put they people they round up, where they will be forever forgotten and permanently silenced: Guantanamo.
You'll note the genius and beauty of the label. "Terrorists" have no country. There is no clear enemy, which allows them to go after anyone they choose, anywhere. The label is generally accepted and construed as "an evil person that should be made not to exist immediately, no questions asked".
Bush really did push through a work of government art with the whole thing.
