  Please read these tips http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize
  Note also http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

  We have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
