Since Squid's log files are by default owned by squid:squid, just edit
/etc/groups and add your userid to the group squid, which definately has
read access to the logfiles.
This is based on the assumption that your intention is NOT to let the
whole world have read access to those files.

Actually, what problem were you trying to address? ;)
