Where does it say that? I found one paragraph that says ...

        In Chapter 4 we go through the process of changing the user-id
        that Squid runs as, so that files Squid creates are owned by the
        squid user-id, and by the group squid. Binaries are owned by root,
        and config files are changeable by the squidadm group.

So, yes, binaries or executables are owned by root, but config files
should be owned by 'squid' and be writable by group 'squidadm'.
