" Didn't everyone know who she worked for anyway? It seems to me that it's much ado about nothing."

It appears that way but why would Fitzgerald continue the investigation if that were the case? Unless perhaps it was determined everyone 'did' know about Plame, making her 'outing' a moot point but during the course of this investigation someone lied under oath which in itself is a crime.

If that is the case, then it must not be anyone in the administration. If it were, it would be stupid to give a waiver to Miller. If she were going to protect her sources - and credibility as a reporter, then the leaky one would have gotten away with leaking, and/or perjury. If Miller testified without a waiver, no one would have trusted her again to be her “anonymous” source. If someone in the administration did commit perjury without checking out Plames’ status, then they were…well, stupid.
