This article reminds me of an episode of Derren Brown's TV show, called "The Heist"[0], where he supposedly manipulates a group of ordinary people to commit an armed robbery. Apparently, in a more recent episode called "The Guilt Trip"[1], he convinces people they have committed murder, which seems even more similar to what's described in this article. It would be interesting to read a skeptic's analysis of the phenomenon, since you're left wondering how much is caused by people acting to please the observer (the cameras in Brown's case, the experimenter in the article's case) and how much is actual planted false memories.

Watch "The Heist" performed by Derren Brown - a british hypnotist. The episode appeared in Channel4. I am not sure where to get it in the US or elsewhere.(psst,psst ..torrent).
He convinces a group of 4 middle manager types to rob a 100,000 pounds from a bank. He selects his subjects by using the milgram experiment. I was shocked by the results. See it to believe it.
(Edit:Earlier I thought it was Stanford prison.expt.Its milgram.expt).
