You don't have them going on a shooting spree unguided. Even an evil military superpower will have a human making the last call on pulling the trigger. Have the drone sending a video stream as soon as it discovers a target that seem remotely interesting. Let the operator choose what get to live another day.

AFAIK this is essentially the situation with current bombers, a computer locks the target, and another one calculates when the bomb should be dropped. In such an szenario the 'human in the loop' is just PR, since the protocols are specifically designed to minimize the impact of said human.
