api.GetFriends is wrongfully requiring authentication

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. api = twitter.Api() # unauthenticated
2. friends = api.GetFriends(user="spam")
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get the friends list.  I get an error saying that the API instance 
needs to be 
authenticated.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
python_twitter-0.6-py2.6.egg

Please provide any additional information below.
According to the twitter API documentation, using either friendships/show or 
statuses/friends 
does not require authentication.
