I think Yoda and the other Jedi could not see the betrayal because of the power of the Dark Side. They sensed something was going to happen, but never expected to be betrayed by the Republic they served. I think only the council knew about the bigger disturbance. Also, they were all distracted by their belief that Anakin was the Chosen One who was supposed to restore balance; they never imagined that he would be the one to tip the balance via his fear and to restore it by fathering Luke & Leia.
I think I might go read some of the books now. The overall message of this episode is to not let fear rule.
The murder of the Jedi was probably the most disturbing part because it was a betrayal of their trust and they were the good guys. Initiallly, I thought it would be the death of the younglings that got the PG13, but they didn't show that treachery.
I might go see it again just to pick up on detail.
