This won't work since what you imply is the same as to remove the  
review_state from the query. This would return all entries that the  
current user is allowed to view but you probably do not want to have  
public drafts there?

As Kim mentioned a way to configure which states to use would probably  
a better way. I have vague memory that I have seen that kind of  
configuration somewhere in Plone or a add-on product but I can't  
remember where. The configuration was something about use-these-states- 
as-publish-states.
