We report measurements of the CMB polarization power spectra from the 2003 January Antarctic flight of BOOMERANG. The primary results come from 6 days of observation of a patch covering 0.22\% of the sky centered near R.A.=82.5d, decl.=-45$^{deg$. The observations were made using four pairs of polar...
