I got it. I can add a virtual attribute to the model (something like
`attr_accessor :destroyer` or something) and you can access it in the
method for `before_destroy` callback. Something like:

Controller

@record = Record.find(params[:id])
@record.destroyer = current_user
@record.destroy

Model

attr_accessor :destroyer
before_destroy :log_destroyer

def log_destroyer
  if destroyer
    ## code for logging
  end
end

my 
question<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9156088/log-the-user-who-destroyed-a-record-using-before-destroy-callback>
in
SO. In case anyone is wondering how to do it ;)
