I'm not sure where you are going here.
Is Fett just a bounty hunter hired by the Separatists (no link to the clones) in which case why is he acting as a bodyguard and what is he doing on Geonosis?
If Fett is still linked to the clones why do the Jedi use the clone army? It's the main area of stupidity that ruins AOTC (along with the badly handled romance).
I agree that Fett should be Boba and should remain covered up but being the link between both sides of Palpatine's fake war makes the Jedi look so rubbish that they almost deserve to get their arses kicked.
I should clarify. For my edit I'm turning the PT into a mini-series. A collection of half hour episodes, each with their own crawl, roughly 4 for each movie. For AOTC, the first 30min chunk:
"Padme is attacked, then makes her anti war speach, then is protected, the assassin's dying words are "Fett", Amidala is sent into hiding, the Senate votes to create an army, obi wan is sent to kamino to inspect an army."
The second 30 min chunk will have it's own crawl stating that Kamino is a planet of cloners who create armies for hire. (this means they already have armies made) the Republic then orders all of their units, and commission more.
During the story, obiwan will end up in kamino, inspect the troups, and learn they were created from a host called "Fett" (no mention of unaltered clone). Obiwan will recognize the name fett from the assasin's dying words, and try to bring him for questioning.
This allows for a couple of things. Firstoff, since the armies are already built as part of their regular business, then they exist before the Republic needs them, it makes the fact that Fett is involved with both Kamino and Geonosis seem like it could actually be a coincidence. He is a bounty hunter, he probably does all sorts of things for money, (ie. act as a host for the Kamino, and during the time he lives there, taking on other odd jobs such as assassinating a Senator) so there is no real need for the Jedi to be too suspicious.
This makes Palpatine seem smarter too. He gets Fett to be a host, and makes a deal with the Kamino to have Order-66 implanted. He then secretly creates the Separatist Movement (with Dooku's help) giving him cause to create an army, and with the help of corrupt politicians, they decide to buy one from Kamino. The Jedi see nothing wrong with buying an army from an group of people who job it is to create armies for a living, and go along with it. Therefore they have no idea anything is amiss until it's too late.
