This is true now, finally:

"Aiming to address the privacy concerns of disenchanted users,
Facebook.com said on Tuesday that it was trying to make it easier
for people to delete their accounts permanently from the social networking
site.

Until now, Facebook has offered only a deactivation option, which keeps
copies of the account's personal information on the company's servers.
It is possible to delete an account fully using a cumbersome manual
method, but it is difficult; many users complained that Facebook did not
provide clear instructions."
