These were Squealer's mistakes:
1. Not making it a top priority that Kiroumaru was killed. Kiroumaru was always a threat, as the akki can't directly attack Queerats anyway.
2. Instead of sending the akki into that cave, Squealer should have just ordered her to create a cave-in, making it clear to her that the only people inside were humans (it's a lie, but she doesn't have to know that). Decent chance the cave-in kills Saki, Satoru, and Kiroumaru. Even if it doesn't kill them, it almost certainly destroys the Psychobuster. With the Psychobuster destroyed, just high-tail it out of there, post-haste.
3. He should have carried a quick-kill poison in a container in a pocket on his clothes, just in case of complete failure. In the event of complete failure, swallow immediately. You don't get taken alive, and put through a degrading show-trial that makes a mockery of you and what you were fighting for. Most importantly, Squealer saves himself a world of pain...
That being said, all of these mistakes are understandable. They rely significantly on the benefit of hindsight.
