Serious privacy fail, Facebook. You should not provide information on the friends unless their accounts are also subpoenaed as well (as John/Jane Doe if necessary). Without that, your response should be redacted so friends are listed only with non-identifying strings. IANAL, but this is common sense.

It sounds like this is a case where the police had a demonstrable need to find out who he had communicated with, and presumably they also had access to his cell phone records. I don't see how names are any more worthy of protection than phone numbers. Especially since the name is really metadata associated with a Facebook ID, which is exactly like a phone number.
