roflamo, this sounds all too familiar. I got so sick of my squeel that I didn't want to drive anymore. Mine was for the first 10 seconds, then it would stop, and if I had my lights on it would squeel at every red light, and when the heat was on...forget it, it would constantly squeel.

I finally poped my hood to replace the belt. It was very tight, but I did notice that last time I was messing with it, I forgot to tighten the bottom bolt on the alternator, either that or it vibrated loose. Well either way, I tightened it, and it was a miracle, the squeeling stopped. Check that bolt, it is at the bottom of the alternator where it mounts to the block. I ended up replacing the belt anyway because winter is coming up here soon and I wanted a new belt on there.
