Well I disagree with you here. The plan wasn't Moody's but Dung's 
through Snape (through DD). To me, it would be very strange if the 
person who suggested the plan in the first place, actually thinks it 
is to dangerous to be part of it. I understand the he was confunded 
to suggest the plan but the Order doesn't know that and neither do 
they know there is an ambush waiting to them.  
Personally I do not think either of them are to blame. Dung didn't 
know what he was suggesting and Moody didn't know what he was 
accepting when he went along with this plan. 

Of course the entire plan is just very childish to begin with and 
something kids would come up with and not grown-up war veterans but 
that is just me of course, still I disagree that Moody took it upon 
himself to use Dung as canon folder. If you want to blame someone for 
the ridiculous plan and using Dung to set up the Order and make them 
target practice for a bunch of DE, then it is still DD and I also do 
hold Snape responsible for not rejecting this plan and telling DD 
that he already has enough credit with LV to ask him for the job of 
headmaster. 

I think the real problem is that JKR tried to make a convincing plot 
that would increase the suspense in who she was going to kill off 
during the book and trying to set up Snape as being LV's man to later 
turn it around. The first chapter was convincing, this one? Not so 
much. 

JMHO
