U.S. federal law permits the establishment of " military commissions " to exercise concurrent jurisdiction with courts-martial in order to prosecute violations of the laws of war or other offenses ( such as perhaps terrorism ) that may be authorized by statute . One of the difficulties there was that the Federal law permitted several kinds of State programs . So my responsibility was to see to what extent we could get all of those standards uniform to the extent that the Federal laws permitted it .
