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."
