Rails - Aug 2009 - Authlogic::How to access current user from within a cache sweeper?

So I''m trying to follow along in Chad Fowler''s Rails Recipes
(recipe
#59, Keeping track of who did what) and I simply want to access the
current user from within my cache sweeper.  Normally you just
reference @current_user but that doesn''t seem to be the case here.

In Chad''s example, he calls controller.session[:user].  What''s
the
Authlogic equivalent?  Thanks for any help.

Here is Chad''s full example:

class AuditSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
  observe Person

  def after_destroy(record)
    log(record, "DESTROY" )
  end

  def log(record, event, user = controller.session[:user])
    AuditTrail.create(:record_id => record.id, :record_type =>
record.type.name, :event => event, :user_id => user)
  end

end
