This piece doesn't really do that. It presents violent Old Testament texts and then cuts to images of Iraq. If it wanted to do the same thing, it could have quoted those responsible explicitly using those OT passages as a justification. The documentary segment included didn't do that either.

You're nit picking. The point was to demonstrate how verses from any religious book can be misused. Whether clips of people explicitly citing those verses to justify their actions are used or not, is irrelevant to that point.
