BOSTON (AP) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife implicitly criticized President Bush in a talk at Harvard University, saying she supported a U.S. Supreme Court decision that dealt a blow to his policy on Guantanamo Bay detainees, a newspaper reported Sunday.
The prime minister, a close ally of Bush, has remained studiously neutral in the presidential race, and his wife, Cherie Booth, has generally avoided commenting on American politics.
But in a closed-door speech to about 100 people at Harvard, Booth praised a Supreme Court decision in a case brought by two Britons freed from Guantanamo, according to London's The Mail on Sunday, which said it obtained a leaked copy of the talk.
