Wrong. The Patriot has given the authorities the tools they need to effectively go after the terrorists. That is why C.A.I.R and their dhimmi democrat allies are so critical of it.
In the hands of a responsible patriotic government, the Patriot Act was a powerful weapon against terrorists and their supporters.
But now, the bad guys are running our government. Islamists have infiltrated the military and Congress. They are the ones who would seek to abuse the Patriot Act.

Exactly why you don’t want that kind of power in an act like this. You don’t know who will abuse it. You have to assume the bad guys get it, which is what our founding fathers assumed. They had forethought, Ashcroft (and Bush) had none.
Ashcroft is a loser, not a patriot.
