The most unbelieveable part of his story was the intelligence community under Clinton's command didn't deem him credible enough. He was the only reason the Clinton administration knew where UBL was at any given time in Afghanistan. Ever since Massoud was assassinated on September 9, 2001, the intelligence community has been stymied over the whereabouts of UBL.
That's precisely why they knew they had to kill him.
He should have been more careful about meeting the journalists, but then again, he was probably desperate for any help from the other countries in his fight against the Taliban, and thought that an interview with a foreign journalist would help. So in the end he died because we didn't give him the help that we promised.
