You don't have to stick the guy into a room and "reprogram" him, that sort does it to themselves. isolate the person (or have them isolate themselves) then restrict information resources and opinions to a very limited set, and reinforce those opinions continually via newsgroups the web etc., will have the same effect. In the recent cases like this one, and the shooting in upper New York state last April, the perp was isolated, limited themselves to mostly right wing and similar information sources. In other words the brainwashing happened in the open and in the full view of everyone, and frequently with the willing cooperation of the person. There's a lot more involved than the very limited sketch I've given, but the mechanisms are known and to some extent understood.
