Facebook; is it passing personal information across to other websites

A few days ago I followed a link in a friend's posting on facebook and was faintly surprised to see a list of a few of my friends in a  sidebar who had done something or other. At the time I was in a rush and couldn't follow it up but made a mental note and moved on. Today I followed another friend's link to a Washington post article, subsequently following a link in that article to a piece on prospect.org. Strangley, at the end of the article, above a bunch of the usual article comments, was a comment entry box with my name and my Facebook avatar next to it. Further up the page was a logout link. I've never created an account with prospect.org, I hadn't logged into the site - as if I could - and it's unlikely, even if I had an old account there, that I'd been auto logged in because I'm using a spanking new computer, only an hour out of the box; no auto login from months ago or anything. I also have 3rd party cookies turned off. My Facebook security is set pretty tight.

So I'm asking myself, what's going on, is Facebook pulling naughties again? Thoughts, ideas, etc?
