JOHN YDSTIE, host: And now your letters.</s>JOHN YDSTIE, host: A number of listeners wrote in to express appreciation for Jacki Lyden's      story on the Christians of northern Iraq.  Her report recalled the      execution of leaders of the Assyrian Democratic Movement, or ADM, who      resisted the genocidal regime of Saddam Hussein.  Raham bin Yamen(ph), a      student in Canada, wrote, `I would like to thank you with all my heart      for taking on my people's story.  My father was one of the three leaders      executed in 1985.  I was three months old and I had never met him.  We      had to flee to Iraq for our own safety and have never been able to      return.  That is why we become so touched when we know that our stories      don't go untold and that our plea for justice doesn't go unheard.'</s>JOHN YDSTIE, host: Not all listeners were so pleased with another story we ran about a      Muslim comedy tour in the US.  Laurie Recchi(ph) of Portsmouth, New      Hampshire, wrote this about our story on the stand-up show Allah Made Me      Funny.  She says, `This segment was in extremely bad taste and totally      offensive.  No one--and I mean no one--should use the hideous current      world terrorism for material.'</s>JOHN YDSTIE, host: Finally, gone but not forgotten.  Listener Dan Joel(ph) wrote in to tell      us how much he'll miss Jennifer Ludden's hosting of ALL THINGS CONSIDERED      on the weekends.  Jennifer has gone back to her reporting job.  Mr.  Joel      said, `She has a delightful voice, a bubbly, involved and engaging radio      personality and,' he says, `a reporter's sense of the right questions to      ask.  My weekends will not be the same without her.'</s>JOHN YDSTIE, host: If you hear something that makes your weekend memorable, for better or      for worse, write us at npr.org.
