I don't trust Facebook's new privacy settings and have decided to delete my account, but I can't find the kill switch.
Does anyone know how I can delete my Facebook account?

Facebook is a megalomaniac. It will never ever ever EVER delete your profile. If you decide ten years later to sign in, then it will still be there. I'd erase my pictures from the site before deleting my account.
Actually, I just did last week.
It is not neccessary to go through the deactivation 2 week wait, you can delete your account directly at:

If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, we can take care of this for you. Keep in mind that you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added.
What happens when my account has a pending deletion request?
... "Once you have submitted a request to permanently delete your account, no further action is required on your end. Our system delays the deletion process in case you change your mind and no longer want to permanently delete your account. Note that logging in to your account again will undo a pending deletion request."
