The private organization is, of course, CREW.  We made significant progress in our lawsuit against the White House Office of Administration yesterday -- quite significant:

A federal judge has agreed to let a private group delve into the operations of an office at the White House as part of a controversy over whether large amounts of e-mail have disappeared.

Permitting any private organization to inquire into White House functions is an unusual step. And U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (KO-lar KO-tell-ee) made that point clear in her six-page order Monday.
