Short answer, you can't (at least not easily). current_user is a controller method and therefore the model doesn't have access to it (Rails is all about Model-View-Controller separation, remember). There's been a fair amount of discussion on these lists about accessing the user from the model, including a few MVC-breaking workarounds. Quick google should dig them out.
