Cookies from FBI on my computer?

I'm doing my blogroll and browsing bookface and as usual after I log out of bookface I go in to delete the cookie they put on my computer as there are reports it can still track where you go after logging out.

And what do I see in my cookies?


A cookie from the FBI.  I didn't go to any site that is government affiliated.  So why do I have a cookie from the FBI on my computer?

ETA: I ran a trace on my system to see how I get to bookface and here are the results.

Hops 8 through 11 are all in Ireland.  Why does my traffic have to go to Ireland when I'm in Texas and bookface's server is in Princeton, New Jersey?
