I thought that as a Colonel in the airforce, Carter would know exactly how to respond to these simple problems. Even I was able to figure out how to avoid all the mess in the episode while watching it.
•First mistake: Sending the team to a possible ambush when they could have searched with the jumpers or life sign device and expose the wraiths' locations, capturing them before they were able to momentarily surround the team. The team could've been shot on the spot and valuable lives could've been lost when it could've been avoided.
•Second mistake: Bringing the wraith to Atlantis. Self explanatory. They really need to establish an alpha site so that they don't endanger the city anymore.
•Third mistake: Not cloaking when the first hive ship arrived. The hive ships could've known which planet Atlantis was on but if Atlantis cloaked, there would be no way for the ship to find the exact location of the city. This would work only if the transmission device was removed and disabled from the wraith or if he was sent to another planet. This could have prevented the second hive ship from locating Atlantis as well. If Atlantis cloaked before the second ship arrived but after the first one arrived, the first ship could've told the second ship where to fire its weapons (if they were working together).
I'm just so disappointed with Carter's poor military leadership. She got extremely lucky when the second ship attacked the first ship and wasn't working together with the first ship in order to attack and destroy Atlantis.
