Order 66 is buried at the end because it's a "contingency" order

in the EU books this is supposed to be a bit of cleverness - it looks evenhanded, anyone can be arrested for being a traitor

but the process is hacked - impeachment is a process that takes time, whereas the CinC can invoke 66 instantly

Order 66 is a lawful order, so they execute it without any particular ill will, which is why the Jedi don't sense it coming

one of the Jedi's mistakes was burying knowledge of the Sith so no one knows what a Sith is and it's not illegal to be one
