A contract from a privacy group can read from the public state including public contracts.
This is not true

When we process the private transaction we need run everything through the evm with the private world state for that privacy group. We cannot currently access information from the public world state. To do so would require significant changes to the way we process the call stack.
Furthermore, as it stands we can not differentiate between public and private addresses. To implement this we would probably need to implement our own opcode or perhaps do some kind of pre-compile proxy that would allow a sort of poor man's reflection.
